We have flu shots available here in the US. Since our health insurance is optional not everyone is covered though. And the shot doesn't always cover the particular strain of the virus that is ends up being most common too. They create the antivirus far in advance of the flu season and make a guess as the variety that will be prevalent in that coming year. And many people become ill from the shot itself too. Those alegic to eggs can't have the shot either. Some years I get the shot and other years I don't. This year I didn't.
