Drive Thru Flu Shot Clinics with CCHD Begin This Week in Great Falls

I am pretty skeptical about predictions.  Sure, there can be some "sure bets" like Montana will get snow in the 2026/2027 season.  But trying to forecast something for an entire season and having to factor in a state's, country's or world's population; yeah, I am skeptical.

But that doesn't mean I don't err on the side of prevention.  Especially as I get older and it happens to be about my health.  As fall begins, it isn't just pumpkin spice and turkey sandwiches ringing in the new season.  Flu season is also rearing its head from a long slumber.
