Are you getting the Flu (link; Influenza) ... or are you getting a 'Cold' (link; Common Cold) ?

Flu shots help protect against getting the Flu, but they don't protect against getting a common cold. I haven't had the flu since I started getting a flu shot, but I still get one or two mild colds a year.

Find a cure for the common cold, and you'll be a millionaire!
