Don't mess up - get a flu shot this winter

OK, I admit it, I messed up.

One thing I learned this month is I should have had a flu shot late last year. I didn't, and as a result I picked up influenza Type A less than a week into the new year.

I was told by my doctor to stay home for a week to keep my colleagues from getting ill, and at home I had to wear a face mask so I wouldn't pass it on to my lovely wife Catherine.
