I get one every year.

I work in a hospital and I am constantly exposed to various germ and infections. I also have asthma and diabetes. I get my flu shot for these reasons and also to hopefully protect my grandbabies, DD's and DH. The hospital I work for STRONGLY encourages the flu shot. If we don't take it, or privide proof from a Dr., we will get a write up if we get sick from the flu and miss work. The other hospital in our city REQUIRES every employee to get a flu shot. If they refuse for reasons other than Dr. certified allergy, etc., they will be terminated.

What I need is a tetanus shot. Thanks for the reminder!

Are people getting pneumonia shots?

My husband gets his every year, because he has a compromised immune system. My mother, 94, has a miserable cold/flu and had the shot. My sister had to go to the doctor for the second time and got antibiotics with three refills and she had the flu shot.

I am not going to get the flu shot. Edie

i got mine in novemebr..i never got them, until i started babysitting the grandkids..they are in day care 3 days, and 2 days with me..
the little petri dishes bring home all sorts of colds/flu!

No flu shot here either......Don't trust anything going into my body made by the drug co........

I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT REALLY MOST PEOPLE VOTE AGAINST A FLU SHOT. I'M NOT FOR IT EITHER, I DO GET THE FLU OCCASIONALLY BUT I THINK MY BODY IS USED TO FIGHTING IT OFF HIMSELF SO I DON'T SEEM TO BE SICK AS BADLY AS SOME DESCRIBE. MY GRAND-CHILDREN COME AND STAY WITH ME TOO AND HAVE BEEN SICK AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO AFFECT ME BADLY EITHER. I REALLY THINK ONE OF THE MAIN THING IS TO LAY DOWN AND REST PLENTY WHILE ILL AND FEED ON VITAMIN C STUFF, LIKE CITRUS FRUIT AND VEGETABLES.

I also never get flu shots and never get the flu. I don't want to reduce my natural resistance.

can't take them either Dr.'s orders by what is in them and my allergy's

Both my DH and I get one every year. Last year we were late getting them, and we both came down with H1N1. Not fun!!!!! He works at a university, and I work in a credit union, so we are both subjected to lots of bugs every day. As long as we get our shots, we seem to make it thru' the winter without picking up every bug that come by.

I hope everyone has a healthy winter.
