Flu Shot for 09-10 Winter

[BabyGurlAron06]

I personally am not going to get the flu shot because I never do. I have thought about it but I have said what the heck. I haven't had it since 2002 so i'm not worried about it. I know people die every year because of it. And so what if this year is a bad flu season it doesn't mean I will get it. It just means that I might get it and my chances of getting it are probably higher.

No, but I'll make sure my kid gets his, especially the piggy flu

This is the first year I'll be getting it since I was a kid. I have a crappy immune system.

I used to get the Flu every year and suffered through it in agony, then I started getting a Flu shot every year in 2000 and haven't had it since. I have Kaiser and they give me one free every year, so it's a no-brainer for me.

I do not think I have ever had a flu shot and do not intend on getting one this year. There are too many people with illnesses that demand they have a flu shot or face severe illness or death. I feel that at this point in my life, I can suffer through the flu, as miserable as it may be. I would rather another person who is diabetic, asthmatic, etc. have mine so they can live a healthier, happier life.

I cant recall ever getting a flu shot since I have been an adult. Ive giving a number of them with me being a nurse.

I got the flu shot like maybe 2 years ago. Ended up getting sick, I don't think it was the flu, but I was more suseptible to getting sick with another illness that was going around my work that the elderly were catching. But since then I havn't been getting the shot. I just don't believe in it. I think it causes other issues. That's just my opinion from experience. My dental office that I work in wants me to get it. Technically I don't have to due to what I believe in, so I just don't bring the issue up.

I have never gotten a flu shot and do not plan to do so now.

I am 48 and diabetic. I have gotten a flu shot every year for the last 2 to 3 years. I used to never get it until my doctor told me that since I was diabetic that I needed to get one.

My point exactly, by not getting a flu shot myself as a healthy 31 year old, these people have more available to them. We all know that the companies never seem to make enough for everyone. They truly need to get the flu shot in order to avoid a major decline in health or even death. I see no point in my getting a flu shot, since I am otherwise healthy. If I do get the flu, it goes away in a matter of a few days as long as I take care of myself. To the people who are diabetic, flu can really do a number on their sugar levels and the ability to control them. Asthmatics can actually stop breathing....and the list goes on and on.

I have gotten the flu shot and am waiting until the swine flu shot becomes available.  All supplies of the regular flu shot have been given out in our area.

[chanok45]
