WHAT REASON DO YOU FEEL YOU PERSONALLY
CANT GO WITHOUT THE FLU-SHOT?
THIS YEAR ONLY THOSE WITH RESPIRATORY OR
OTHER ILLNESSES THAT THE FLU COULD BE DANGEROUS
TO THEM - ARE THE ONES TO RECEIVE THEM.
LIKE IF YOU HAD CHRONIC MRSA....THAT COULD GET
RESP.....OR THE USUAL....COPD, EMPHYSEMA...ETC...
I DON'T BELIEVE THE FLU AFFECTS US PURELY
ADHESION PEOPLE IN A DANGEROUS WAY -
DOES IT?

I am looking for guidance on whether intestinal adhesions (from three
intestinal surguries)and a history of bowel obstructions constitute a
"serious chronic medical condition" sufficient to warrant getting a flu
shot this year. I am 57 years old and otherwise healthy. So far,
either I haven't made a very good case for myself, or it's not
considered a serious enough medical condition for getting one of those
ultra-scarce flu shots.
