Any Plans to Get a Flu Shot?

[sherryinutah]

I bounce back and forth.  I'm an herbalist so I use anti-viral herbs on a regular basis.  Garlic, yarrow and cayenne all have antiviral properties but I think I might get a flu shot, anyway.

What about you?

Did you get a shot yet?

How much do you have to pay for one?

Are you going to pass?

I have Kaiser insurance and they pay for it, but I would get one anyway because it usually works for me. I say usually, because last year I was hospitalized with the flu for a couple of days.

I don't plan on getting one.  I use to get them all the time and sometimes still got the flu, perhaps a different strain than I was vaccinated for but for now I have no plans to get one.

I have to get a flu shot I am required by work. I don't know how much they are my insurance covers them.

I don't get the Flu shot... the two times I have gotten the shot I've gotten sick.

I did take my father to get the Flu shot at Kaiser & it was fast & quick, they have an area just for the shot right in the lobby.

I wont, I had a bad reaction to one I had a couple years ago, for 6-8 months my arm where it was given felt as if someone hit me with a bat, and was black and blue

No, I won't be getting a flu shot this year. The last time I got one I was sick for 2 weeks.

I have allergic reactions to medication.  I need to be very careful.  I will pass.

No, I won't get a flu shot. You all should be able to get them more easily for free this year though. Check out some of the grocery stores. I thought I saw them advertised for free, but I do not know. I do not have all the details. No min. purchase, ie $50, etc.

No, no plans at all on getting one.

I've already gotten mine. It's a requirement for my employer because I work in a hospital. No side effects, though a few years ago, I was super tired after getting it. It's either getting the shot or possibly getting the flu. I'll take my chances and just get the shot.

I have already gotten it this year at my doctor's office. She had plenty of the high dose ones for seniors on hand so I gladly took one of those.

I have been getting a flu shot every year for the past 15 years and only had a bad reaction once.  It was like feeling I was coming down with a bad cold for about 24 hours and then was gone.  It was only one year.  On the other hand, getting the flu shot annually has kept me in good health and I know I am safe being around others. Getting shots and vaccinations isn't all about you.  It's about keeping others safe also.  Once you are on Medicare, you get your flu shot free.

Most certainly will get  flu shot!

Yep I got mine about a month ago.
