Flu shots?

[Rayven]

Just seeing if you guys have gotten or are planning to get flu shots this year and if anyone has had positive or negative effects from them.

Thanks!

[LizPetillo]

Not a chance.  I won't be getting one EVER if I can help it.
Did ya' see where Baxter got caught putting LIVE Avian Flu into their Swine Flu shots last year?
I don't trust the shots.
And I really dont' want to up my chances of Guillian Burre.

I already got mine. I get a flu shot every year. I feel achy and tired enough without adding the flu to it.

If I need to see my doctore about something else - she'll insist on giving me one but if I don't need to see her I will be left alone. That's what happened the last 4 years at least. Everyone at work has had a horrible flu like cold recently. (Not totally floored so not flu proper) They have all had time off work. I'm the only one who hasn't caught it yet! This is probably tempting fate!

I think my system would fight off the flu too, so I won't be asking for a shot.

Take care - Scottie

heck yes.

I didn't get one last year and I ended up getting the flu.

I don't want to add influenza to my list of problems.

I get the flu shot every year. Wally

Yes,
   I get one every year. So far haven't had reactions or the flu. Because of my other disorder, I can't get the "shingles" vaccine - it's got live virus - not allowed for the other condition.  My Dr. is pretty good they check for allergies before they give any shots or meds.

[anita]

Got mine.

Got the flu last year, so didn't want a repeat performance

[BonusMom]

I'll be getting my flu shot tomorrow at work.

[Cheryl]

Yes, I had mine.

Hi

I have lung issues and am having mine on the 20th. I had swine flu last year, so am keen to protect myself as much as possible this year.

Oh, and for anyone who remembers the flu epidemic in 1958 - my father died as a result of that outbreak. He was only 24. Remember, flu can kill.

Last year I got both. No problem. Am planning on getting the shot this year as well. No sense encouraging sickness. I have enough to deal with as it is.

We always get our flu shots.

Got mine, get one every year.
