The flu is a very unwelcome visitor in anyone’s home. It causes significant loss of time (usually 5 to 7 days)…loss of time at school…loss of time at work… loss of quality family time…loss of Christian ministry time! It can, and does, cause a significant loss of life each year. The only contraindication is allergy to eggs
