Why is that, OakLeaf?

(I know, I know, I should read up on it properly, but I'm lazy and it's more fun to ask you guys )

My workplace is offering both shots to all employees in a few weeks time. Normally I wouldn't bother getting any flu shot, but after spending a week second-guessing myself on whether my son had swine flu or just a bad cold, I'm ready for the whole family to take the shot just to not have to do that all winter. Which isn't really a very good reason. But my FIL has just had heart surgery, he's doing great but he can't risk any infection at all, so that's another and better reason, be sure not to infect him.

Health issues: I don't have any heart problems that I know of, but all of my close family does or did, so I guess there's still a possibility that I have something they haven't found yet.
