Veterans under 50 need flu shots, too
Just because you never get sick doesn’t mean you’re invincible from getting the flu. A serious misconception is that the flu shot is only for children and older adults. However, Veterans under 50 also need it. Veterans need to get the shot to protect not only themselves, but also their loved ones. If you’re under 50, don’t be one of the many Americans who fail to get a shot.
