Some of us don't have the option of getting one. Years ago I had one. They asked me if I was allergic to eggs. Nope, never had a problem with eggs--lots of food allergies but not eggs. Boy was I wrong! Come to find out I have a mild egg allergy. For a year and a half after getting a flu shot I suffered from terrible migraines if I ate anything with several eggs in it. A bout with the flu vs. over a year of migraines? I'll take the flu any day. If I never have another migraine the memory of them will last me forever. I don't ever want to go through anything that miserable again.
