It's not too late

It's that time of year again. It's flu season, and flu cases are on the rise in many parts of the country.

So if you didn't have the foresight to get your flu shot earlier, it's not too late to get it now. Get it before you become a statistic, and if not for yourself, get it for me, and others like me. Get it for those with compromised immune systems, who are more susceptible to contracting all sorts of illnesses.

More importantly, remember to wash your hands frequently (it is likely the single biggest factor to reducing your potential for getting the flu), don't touch your face, especially around the eyes, refrain from shaking hands, without being impolite, and don't go to work if you're feeling sick.

We'll all be better off for it.

I'm 53 and have never had the flu. My grandfather survived the Spanish influenza. Do you think it's my DNA or have I just been lucky?

Dear Curious in Camarillo,

You've never had the flu? You've never been sick during flu season, no matter how mild? Are you sure?

I doubt it's your DNA, but.......... Or maybe it's because you've always gotten a flu shot?
