Since they changed the Strand that they were putting in the Flu Shots that made everyone get sick, I gave the new Strand a try about five years ago. I didn't get sick. Now I get my Flu Shot every year and I have not got sick.

So you are saying they use to give a shot that made people sick but now they don't?  smh
They would never admit that getting the shot will give you the flu.  But if you read the side effects (have to do online because they do not give you the insert that comes with the vaccine) it plainly states you can get a mild case of the flu and a whole list of other things.  They do not tell you that though.

Yes, I faithfully receive the flu shot every year. I used to get it through my job, but it was more convenient for me to get it from the local pharmacy. That is where I have been getting it for the past two years.

   Some people do not get the annual flu shot.
   I am one of them because they get serious side effects.

No I have never got the flu shot but did have a mild case of the flu two years ago lucky it wasn't so bad and no high fever but I think there are too many side effects.

I saw a report where the flu shot will only be 40% to 60% effective in preventing the flu this year.
Have a wonderful day!

I get mine every year, not that I'm thrilled about getting one, but I am around the elderly a lot and when I'm not I take care of my infant grand daughter.

I just got mine the other day...I like to get it this time of year so it lasts the entire season....it takes about 2 weeks to kick in fully so I make sure I get it before I leave for Thanksgiving!
