Does the flu vaccine really work for healthy people?
The honest answer is no. The vaccine is big business and
brings in a lot of money for the healthcare providers. The truth is very few
healthy people benefit from it. So far, in healthy people, there is no evidence
to support the use of a flu vaccine.
If the doctor offers a free flu shot, then you have nothing
to lose. If it costs money, I would avoid it.
Rather, rest, drink plenty of fluids, take a couple of Tylenols
and you will be fine. This advice applies to healthy people only.
