Jinger Duggar is sharing her thoughts on influenza vaccines. In an Instagram Q&A with her followers on Wednesday, January 7, the former Counting On star was asked if she gets the flu shot. "I've never had one and not sure if I'd get one or not at this point," Duggar, 32, replied. "But I sure do hate the flu."

Common symptoms include fevers, sore throat, extreme fatigue and body aches. Duggar's post, however, comes days after the Department of Health and Human Services announced a major overhaul of the childhood vaccination schedule. Effective immediately, the administration said on Monday, January 5, that the flu vaccine will be taken off the official childhood vaccine schedule. For the current flu season, however, the CDC still recommends seasonal flu vaccination for children, pregnant women and adults.

In her latest Instagram Q&A, the former TLC reality star didn't address if other family members do or don't get the flu vaccine. According to the CDC, Americans can take steps to avoid getting a serious case of the flu. Some tips include practicing excellent hygiene, like frequent handwashing and covering coughs. It's also recommended to avoid close contact with sick people, disinfect surfaces and support your immune system with a healthy diet, exercise and rest.

"So I actually have not jumped back into working out since having Finn and I really hope to soon, because as the new year is starting, that is definitely one of the things at the top of my list, which I feel like it's just so cliche because everybody's like, 'My new year's resolution is to start working out again,'" she said. "Well, legit, that's my new year's resolution. That and to have more consistent devotions early in the morning. We'll see how it works." Duggar continued, "I really don't know right now. There's so much to juggle now with the kids and I gotta make it happen. It's time. In the past, I have done [virtual] Beachbody, which I love."
