79) I am a flu fighter

It's a little bit later than normal this year, but today I went out, and got my flu shot.

Please go out and get your flu shot. Flu season is starting to gear up, and the flu shot is really your best defence against getting sick. Yes, the flu shot may not be 100% effective, but if you get your shot and catch the flu, the length and severity of your symptoms can be reduced. You are also not just protecting yourself, you are helping to protect the young, the elderly, pregnant women, the sick, and people who may be immunosuppressed, such as cancer patients. The more people who get their flu shots, the more difficult it is for the virus to spread due to herd immunity.

So please, go and get your flu shot. It really doesn't take much, and here in Ontario the flu shot is free - you just need your health card. It's available at your doctor's office and most pharmacies. Be a flu fighter, and you might just save someone's life.
