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.

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.

Are people getting pneumonia shots? |
I don't get the flu shot. My kids never got one and still don't. But I'm not saying that to just shun the shots. The shots are helpful to many. I know I have a healthy immune system and I know my kids eat and live healthy. To them fast foods and processed foods are as forbidden as smoking cigarettes. Grand isn't allowed to eat the school lunches but she told me sometimes she'll eat there if they have her favorite, sloppy Joes. LOL

Got mine in September.
Also, the pneumonia & whooping cough. J J |
I always get the "Shot" it does have a little of the virus in them, thats what builds the immunity. I sometimes feel a little tired but better than the flu.

I have gotten my flu shot for lots of years. I am around elderly people and can't risk bringing something to them!
