Vaccines do work to better your immune system. They teach your immune system to recognize a specific threat so it can mount a response faster when you are exposed to this threat in real life. It's not as simple as strengthening your immune system overall, because it can become too active and attack things it isn't meant to. This can lead to things like allergies or autoimmune conditions like lupus.

I have trouble making friends as an adult. However, I'm great at making work friends and acquaintances. I have no trouble talking to strangers, I'm friendly. I strike up conversations at work, dog parks, etc. But it never progresses past that. How do I communicate doing something outside of work for example? If they say they're busy, how do I tell if that's true or they are blowing me off? Should I ask again at a later time? If I meet someone cool around the city, how do I ask for their information without sounding like a creep or desperate? I met a women at the dog park, our dogs got along so great. I told her my husband and I were new in town, she told me about all the places she and her friends take their dogs to give me suggestions but didn't invite us or offer her phone number, for example. It felt rude to push. What can I do in these situations without being rude or pushy?
