Unreal, sorry to hear that. A certain number of *otherwise healthy* people die from the flu every year, by I do not know the exact figure. Is influenza the same as the flu? Related?

I got my first flu shot ever this year and have had good luck so far. I feel like I have had *half a flu* a couple of times when others around me were extremely ill, could that be the shot working? I am supposed to get one every year because I do not have a spleen, but this was the first time. I'm getting one every year now, it's too risky.
