Any Plans to Get a Flu Shot?

[patti4me]

I got my flu shot in September and a pneumonia shot too!  I usually wait till October but the lady at the drug store was really pushing them early so I got it out of the way.

I will definitely get one.

I don't plan on getting it. I have never gotten it in the past.

Got mine today, It was free. the hospital that  I am with for my graves/thyroid gives them every year. Makes it nice. Just go in and sign your name and  you have your shot.

I  normally do not get a flu shot due to the fact that I rarely get the  flu .. I have seen everyone around me get it but for some reason it normally skips me.

Thanks for the reminder - I need to do this.

I just started getting mine a couple of years ago and to my surprise the flu shot works for me. I keep my fingers crossed though.

I get one every year

if you want the flu you will need to get the shot

[dreamyxo]

No I do not get flu shots.  I don't trust what is being injected into our bodies.

Nah...

Yes. I meant to do it last weekend and forgot. I don't know if it works or not, but I trust the advances we have in modern medicine.

My doctor makes me get one each year.  I have really bad allergies so as she explains it, 'any sever allergy attack during the flu season could turn into pneumonia so a few shot will prevent that from occurring.'  I think it's based on the individual.  If it gives you a peace of mind then go ahead.  Personally I don't think it prevents the flu, because I've had many friends get the flu after getting the shot.  I think what it does in truth is not prevent you from the flu just makes it less lethal when you do get it.  So, in my case, I have to get it for a different reason.

My husband and I (we are in our sixties) have been getting them for the last few years.  He insists on getting them, though I feel like I could go without it.  However, we are going to visit our newest little infant grandson, so I guess it's good to have it.  (We also got the whooping cough vaccine.)  Our flu shots were paid for by our insurance.

No more flu shots for me. I was getting them for many years until 3 years ago.I used to get the flu every year with the shot. Now I do have to get a pneumonia shot. Was hospitalized last week for that and my DR said I had it so bad it will take me about 6 weeks to get over it.
