About three years ago I got the flu. Because it's me, I got it the end of April/beginning of May. Not the usual flu time. It was the sickest I've been in a long time, outside of having a staph infection. I was chugging Robitussin like it was water. That year I didn't get a flu shot however I'll be doing it this year! I have an appointment on Saturday morning.

Health officials in Charlotte are urging people to get their flu shots. They are saying it may be a severe flu season this year. According to WCNC, the CDC says the best time to get your flu shot is by the end of October. Atrium Health will be hosting clinics on October 15 in numerous locations in and around Charlotte.

If you're interested in getting a flu shot, here's a list of locations you can visit. More details are here.
