Get a flu shot, get an A?

Did you get your flu shot? Good. You'll probably ace your finals.


OK, maybe not so fast...but researchers at the University of Minnesota found that students who receive flu shots are less likely to miss class (obviously) but also do better on tests and homework. 

From the article...

Vaccinated students are:
- 46 percent less likely to miss a class.
- 40 percent less likely to botch an assignment.
- 47 percent less likely to have a bad test.
- 47 percent less likely to have to go to the doctor.

What do you think? Do the benefits outweigh the concerns?
