Believe it or not, a yearly flu shot may help protect your parent from having a stroke or heart attack. Several different groups of researchers have reported that the influenza vaccine may reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack, especially for people under the age of 75. September through November is the best time to get a flu shot, although your parent may still benefit through the month of January. He should check with his doctor before getting vaccinated, though.
