Flu Shot

[mapiklfish]

No, do not get flu shots.  I don't usually get the flu, although, did last year and I'm "high risk" but, have heard too much about their connection with alzheimers because of the junk that's in them.  And, almost everyone I know who gets one, gets sick afterward.  I know all the medical people say they can't make you sick but, I know a lot of people who get sick afterward.  Whether it's the shot or not, I don't want to get sick so I avoid it.

I stopped getting it a few years ago after hearing reasons to not get it. But last year I had pneumonia for 2 1/2 months and my Dr convinced me I needed a flu and pneumonia shot.
I just got my shot this past Thursday for this year, I take care of my 3 month old grandbaby so I don't want to take the chance of giving it to her.

Yes, your health insurance will cover the flu shot, so it's better to get the flu shot and be safe than sorry later.

[ktheodos]

Yes - received mine last Saturday....I have heard that it takes 2 weeks to kick in...

[debidoo]

No I don't.  Where I used to work before I retired "hounded" you until you took it but since I don't.  There is a lot of controversy about the safety of it and I never get the flu so I just take my chances.

Nope! I refuse to get the flu shot! I got it one year and got violently ill from it. They put toxins and poisons into the shots. I don't trust them and my kid does not get it either.

[lywb2168]

I usually do, either get it from my job when they do a clinic for it, or just go to the pharmacy if no plans to visit the doctor's office.

[dancer139]

[timvolley]

i i havent had a flu shot in many years and havent gotten the flu either

[mnmaverick55410]

I skipped my flu shot last year and got nailed with a severe cold because of it, so I was an early bird in getting a flu shot this year. = ) 

[pkrahmer]

i got a flu shot several years ago and i got the flu shortly after getting the shot.
i haven't had the flu shot and several years and have been fine. I hope the trend continues since i really don't care for flu shots.

I suffer with really bad allergies so my doctor makes me get one so those allergy infections (which are the same as a cold except minus the sore throat) doesn't turn into pneumonia.

I got my first ever Flu shot in October, didn't get none of the flu like symptoms. Each time my Aunt gets the Flu shot, she always get sick from it, it does her really bad.
