Last year in Spain about 1,000 person died as a result of the flu.31% of them were people suffering from diabetes.The objective of the flu vaccine is not so much to prevent you from infecting you but the reduction of the risk of serious complications if you are infected.
This year's flu epidemic has not started yet.You are even in time to get vaccinated if you have not done it.
If you are not diabetic but you live with a person who is, that you vaccines can be used to protect her from a possible infection.
And if you read this message when the epidemic has already begun, remember that you can also vaccinate yourself.

@Anaisabel I have been vaccinating for about 8 years, I am lucky that they put it at work because we are a risk group and I have not caught flu (I cross my fingers), yes, a couple of colds do not take them away from me nobody.-

I have never vaccinated.In my work we also vaccinate us for risk, but I have always rejected it.My header (now I have another) told me years ago that if I had never passed it and I did not usually cold almost never vaccinated and I have never done it.The other year I will ask again, but I think I will. Thank you.

Remember that if at your home you live with a risk person (in this case a person with diabetes) is also indicated that you empty and in your health center you should not put any problem.

No one has put any problem.At work I would put it and the header as well.I have been 17 years old with diabetes and I have not put it because I have not wanted.

Anaisabel, the answers have crossed.While I wrote your comment.Of course, if a person does not want to get vaccinated and assume the risk, nothing to object (provided he does not put others at risk).If you want to rethink the vaccination you are still on time.In fact, if the epidemic has already arrived, that is not contraindication to vaccinate you.The vaccine is indicated throughout the period that the virus is circulating. It is not necessary to say that I am in total disagree with the comment that your doctor gave you (which is also contrary to the recommendations of all scientific societies)
