Flu Shot or Not?

Flu Shot or Not?

Chiropractic Dallas GA Lady Doctor

As a chiropractor, I do not give medical advice. The decision whether to take medication or vaccinations should be made between the patient and their medical doctor. There are risks and benefits to doing or not doing many things involving your health. I believe that a lot of information is required for anyone to make an intelligent decision. There are many side effects and risks to medications and vaccinations.

However, medical treatment does save many lives and prevents serious health and life-quality issues. Many people come to our Dallas, Georgia chiropractic clinic for healthy life-style advice, nutritional support, laser therapy, physical rehabilitation, and chiropractic care. There are ways to naturally, and safely boost your immune system. A healthy life-style will lower the risks for disease and other catastrophic health problems.

Estimates suggest that the flu shot for 2019-2020 has reduced the risk of illness by around 47% in vaccinated people, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
