Flu Shot, Have you Had Yours?

[robin1128]

I went to the doctor to day for blood work and a check up. And then suprise they gave me a flu shoot. I don't mine shots but it sure did make my arm sore and I felt a little funny afterward. As of now I'm feeling ok. How many of FC people got your flu shoot yet? I do hope it keeps me and my husband both from getting the flu. He had his shot last week.

   I had mine a month ago.  Our family has had to take them since our children were small, because 2 of our 3 children had JRA (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis) and had to be protected.  I have asthma and chronic bronchitis so I have to have them now for me, as well as pneumonia boosters.  I won't take the swine flu shot, though.  I don't trust that one yet.

No Flu Shot as yet.  Still thinking about it.

My kids have had theirs but I haven't had mine yet.

The 2009 H1N1/Swine Flu was one of the three strains included in this year's seasonal flu vaccination.  Each year, they include three different strains of flu in each vaccine, based solely on what they believe may cause the biggest impact.  So, if you get a seasonal flu shot this year, you're getting the 2009 H1N1 pandemic strain included.

I have not had one yet.
They just started offering them in the CVS a week or two ago.

I was going to get one.  Standing right by the table where they were administering them.  Felt not to get one....don't know why.  Didn't get it.

I got mine and so did my son. The Swine Flu is included this year so I felt it was important. My arm was sore for a few hours, but that was all and my boy didn't complain.

[carebearmafia]

Nope...but you know what you all should be watching out for?
Swine Flu.....I hear its a dang epidemic now!

[ktheodos]

i will be soon!

Never get one, never (knock on wood) get the flu.

My husband got his at the VA.  He gets one every year but this year he was sick that night.  All better by the next day and what he had wasn't very serious - might have been all in his head.

Thanks for updating me on that.
