It's a great idea to talk to your PCP to asses risks and your decision about the shot. Speaking of which I caught this on the news the other day.

Yes, I think we all should aspire to eat a diet rich in nutrition, fruits and vegies, high in vitamins and nutrients. Even a car crash I was in as a youth I came out of it ok because I was fit. We all try to "eat right", I'm sure that helps in a lot of ways. But we should know the science/medical risks and rewards.

Thanks to all you TE medical type folk for chiming in with the "house call"

The debate about vaccination has been a long one. Here's a quote from Benjamin Franklin:

In 1736 I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation. This I mention for the sake of parents who omit that operation, on the supposition that they should never forgive themselves if a child died under it; my example showing that the regret may be the same either way, and that, therefore, the safer should be chosen.
