School immunizations

[Wao nahele wahine]

According to the article you posted, I am not in the group that benefitted the most from the flu vaccine. In the decade that I have lived in Puna, I have had a cold once. I personally don't consider myself high risk, and see no need to get the flu shot at this time. My oncologist has not pressured me about my decision.

So...where are all of these uninformed people mass posting on social media...pleading with people not to get the flu shot? Has the number of people getting the shot gone down? It is a choice...whether you agree it is the right choice for someone doesn't matter. Much like some of my neighbors didn't think I should have chemo, becase it is poison. They thought I should take my chances with soursop. I am not saying the flu shot is poison...just pointing out that it is a person's choice as to what treatment they want to have.
