So during thanksgiving break, I will be honest and did not do too much reading. Instead of blogging about the book, Just Listen, I read an article in the newspaper. The article is about students and how flu shots could help your grades. According to the article a U of M study shows that vaccinated students not only miss fewer classes but also do better on tests and classwork. Here are some percentages of vaccinated students:
46 percent less likely to miss a class.
40 percent less likely to botch an assignment.
47 percent less likely to have a bad test.
47 percent less likely to have to go to the doctor.

The flu is an illness that can knock college students out of school for up to a week and there is a lot of lost learning. Doctors surveyed rougly 20,000 students and on average, thirty percent who were vaccinated reported better health and better performance at school and work compared with those who were not vaccinated.
I believe that this year doctors have a new way of giving flu shots. They can give it to you through the nose. I am sure many would probably perfer this way because there isn't any pain involved. There is proof, because I did it nasaly this year and liked it so much more!
I don't see why anyone would want to risk getting sick and be out of activities for up to a week...? Everyone should get flu shots or nasal shoots just to be safe! Also to help perform better, and do well in school.
