A couple lemon juice and water per day would either prevent the onset or really help cure the influenza virus quite quickly.

But I had a temp of 38.2 C - that's quite high.
I also went through 300 tissues in one day -

Flu Vaccination Side Effects

We understand Flu

Flu shots side effects (if any) tend to be mild, and if you develop flu-like symptoms, its effects are expected to be weaker than getting the "live" version of the virus. Some reactions to the flu vaccine may include:

      General malaise, or feeling "under the weather."
      Nausea
      Muscle aches
      Localised swelling, sore arm, itchiness or redness
      Feeling tired
      Headache
      Fever

Reactions to the flu shot should clear up by themselves within two to three days.

More likely than not, you coincidently got the flu or a cold, there's heaps of it going around.

Old people are often dense. It's interesting.

Old people have lowered immune responses. Mum and Dad hardly got sick when myself and my siblings were growing up in that household. And when they did, they usually caught it from us children who were sick with some sort of cold twice a year. I got into adulthood and would only get sick on occasion. Now, Mum and (especially) Dad have to be careful about how they take care of themselves.

I have no doubt that is true, yet they don't understand how vaccines work

She is very good with medicine. I would say that she keeps getting influenza vaccines every year. Dad is stubborn. It is difficult for Mum to get him to change his habits. I get the feeling that Dad has given up on life a few years after retiring from work.
