Better to take the flu shot and be safe than sorry when you do get sick.

I always did until I was educated on them. I didnt for the last several years until last year because I had pneumonia for almost 3 months and hospitalized twice, I broke down and got a flu and a pneumonia shot.

I normally get the flu shot every year but I keep hearing bad things about the flu shot.

I don't get them. I have gotten them a few times and I have always gotten the flu. I been told to get them and bunch of times after that but I refuse to get them. I have only ever had the flu once before that when I was little and never since then.

I caught the flu20 years ago and never caught it again. So come to think of it, I just might get the flu shot because think of it like this. We are going to be around other people whether it be at work, grocery stores, sick people that we may not know is sick and are at risk. They are giving you the strain of the flu to boost the immune system and get it ready attack whenever we get exposed if that makes any sense to you.

Definitely plan to get the vaccine. In touch with too many people places and things on a daily basis.  Never know who may be sick!

I don't plan on getting one. I only got the shot once in recent years, and came down with the flu right afterwards. I'm not sure if I was already infected anyway, or if the shot actually gave me the flu. But I figure if I'm going to maybe get the flu, I can at least do it for free.

My employer requires that I receive an annual flu shot, so it is up to them as to when I receive it. Usually, it occurs between late October to early November.

I don't do it... I think they are a waste of money.... can they really get it RIGHT for that particular year??? I'll take my chances, and just take  a lot of vitamin c.
