If you have not gotten one yet, get one. My husband and I and I have had this "crud" for the last week. It has not been fun. When I was teaching I would get a flu shot each year. Since retiring, I have not been as diligent. I think we are finally over the worst part, but still tired feeling, headachey and nasty cough. At least I can walk through my house without getting tired. The worst part of this crud was that I could not read. I just could not focus. So please, get your flu shot.

I can't take them either -- just found out last year that they have MSG in them (preservative) -- I can't tolerate MSG. So sorry you've been so sick! It's NOT fun! Especially when you're retired.....no compensation like being able to take a day off!!!!

I never get a flu shot either. My dad gets one and always gets the flu right after.

I can't get 1 because I have an allergy to eggs but I make sure the rest of my family gets them.

I get mine every year. One of my kids has an egg allergy, and the other is irritated by eggs, but the doc says he doesn't have the allergy. So, both of them aren't supposed to get it. Lord, if they do, I sure don't want it. I need to be able to take care of them.
I hope you start feeling better!

There's all kinds of goodies in those flu shots! I don't ever get one either.

I am a RN and got mine this year.I ended up in ER 3 time and 2 hospital admissions within a week of getting it.This is a 3 for one combo that has never been tried before and it about killed me so I will not be getting any vaccinations of any kind ever again per Dr. orders
