Yes and you should get one as soon as possible. The shot takes some time to give you immunity and flu season is here.

I did get a flu shot while txing. Though I heard on the news that this year the flu shot only vaccinates against 40% of the bugs that are out there....anybody else hear of this??
Hey jd...how are you doing with intake of water today?

Because you have a chronic and life threatening disease...you SHOULD get flu shot every year. Pneumonia shot too if you can get it.

Also I always wondered about it with hep c..
