I never take the flu shot!  I hear that some people have a bad reaction to it!  I kinda afraid to bother with it!

Yes I get the flu shot every year it does not give you the flu you already have it, it just it's showing yet.

No, no and no.  I use a lot of anti-viral foods and herbs because I deal with Epstein-Barr virus so I won't take the risks associated with a flu vaccine.

Have a great day!

Both my husband and I get a flu shot every year but neither one of us gets any reaction to it. Hopefully, you will feel better soon.

I've never gotten the shot and I've never had the flu.  I might get them when I'm older but for now my immune system works well enough without extra precautions

Heck no! I got 2 of them in my life, both in my 50s. The first one had no effect on me but I got so sick with the second one, I almost died. In fact, hubby was ready to call the funeral director!

I haven't had the flu since and have only since then and it was a mild case. I don't get the pneumonia vaccine either but the docs kept pushing both those vaccines for people over 60. It's hard to argue with them year after year. This coming winter, I'm going to wear a sign around my neck stating I will not argue but refuse the shots...end of conversation. :D

We get the flu shot every year. Hubby works at the schools as a sub and the kids bring in everything. And if he catches I might catch it too. and with an autoimmune disease I do not need it.  Right now I am staying away from him. He caught a summer cold from somewhere and I do not want it.  So far so good. But it is not over yet.

Flu Vaccination Why should people get vaccinated against the flu? Influenza is a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death.

I won't ever get a flu shot, they're worthless.  The two times I got one a few years ago---were the sickest flu seasons I've ever had.  No more.  Doctor always recommends because I have asthma----yet I do better without. http://www.newsmax.com/Health/Headline/flu-vaccine-influenza-DrDavid-Brownstein-worthless-vaccines/2014/01/16/id/547531/

At first I wouldn't get the flu shot but my kiddos would, then I became pregnant and the doctor recommended me to get it and I did and have been doing it since then.
