Don't Celtics players ever get flu vaccines? How do we always have several players sick every flu season?

They have as bad an immune system as I do?  (Got my flu shot on October 1st, already been sick three times since then.)

That said, last year they got sick in Europe primarily, which may have been a different strain of the flu, and also was early enough into flu season that vaccines might not have been available before they left the States.  Otherwise, spending a lot of time in airports, locker rooms, and eating food prepared by others are all good ways to get the myriad of viruses that seasonal flu vaccines don't protect against.

I rarely ever get sick with the flu or anything like that, except for like a bi-annual case of strep throat, which usually knocks me out good for a week or two.

However, I seem to get a freaking sinus infection or severe cold about every other month anymore. And I know there'd be times where I just couldn't play basketball with a sinus infection if I was an NBA player.

Yeah, he's still expected to play tomorrow, but with his previous shoulder issues, it is a bit concerning. He said it's been sore since training camp.
Then I hope it stays sore, given how he's shot so far.
