    I am a pharmacist and have vaccinated thousands of people. I am always impressed when someone listens to the reasons why a flu shot is an important civic duty and decides to get one when they haven’t previously.

    The Spanish Flu of 1918 killed between 1-5% of the world population. For perspective, COVID-19 killed about 0.1%. Consider a pandemic that was 10 to 50x (!!!) the effects of COVID and specifically killed young people from the ages of 20-40.

    Get your flu shot.
