My wife is 54 and in good shape and is wondering if she should take the flu shot. She hasn’t taken it in 9 or 10 years. And when she did she always got sick after getting the shot. Thoughts?

Its one of these things that ought be self-evident right, but people are kept bombarded and confused with so much disinfo and hysterics about vaccines that its hard to take a step back from the deluge and approach the issue pragmatically.
As others have said here, your own immune system is the best thing that exists in fighting off the bugs, but it needs to be fed the right constituent pieces to keep its effectiveness. Vit C, D3(especially in winter), a multi with lots of mineral supplements, and basic fitness, healthy eating and sleep patterns and that's the majority of the bugs that will never take. The ladies get more iron deficient than guys too, especially as they get older so that's also one to look at.
Best wishes to you & yours, stay healthy and safe!
