R U ?

Just got mine today, Janice!

(and boy has the cost gone up....$28)

would like to get a pneumonia shot as well (but that one is $38).

No way

The last flu shot I got was about 8 years ago, and I was sick for 2 weeks after that!!

I'll take my chances again this year!!

Wow, I know certain places in some areas offer them for free. CVS and Walgreens to name a couple. Fortunately, my insurance covers mine.

Probably. Active Duty military and their dependants (aka me) get them for free so my dad makes a big deal out of it and makes me.

no i have a very strong immune system. i was stuck in a house one time for a week with my grandfather and father who both had the flu, picking up their tissues and caring for them etc. and didn't even get a sniffle. i also worked at st. francis hospital for a year touching every wheelchair from the e.r. as well as everything else patients had access to and again never once got sick. knock on wood and hope i'm not jinxing myself but i never ever get sick. the most i ever get is a head cold that lasts 24 hrs. the last time i had the flu was 7th grade so i'm not that concerned.

I get one every year, my mom is in nursing school...enough said ;)

Yes

Absolutely. There is no reason not to unless you are one of the relative few allergic to eggs.

In the interests of stomping out any FUD that inevitably goes around each year, it should again be noted again that 1) The Flu Shot does not and cannot cause the flu. & 2) The Flu Shot does not contain the mercury-based preservative thimerosal that many worry about.

Yep

Nope. It's made from last year's strain, so a lot of good it will do if a different strain comes out. I'll suffer through my sinus infections and strep instead. Plus, like Phoebe said, last time I did, I was sicker.

No. I rarely get sick and if I do I'll tough it out.

Yes, the company I work for gives them free to employees.

I'm definately getting one for free through Kaiser. I like getting them because I skip the worst part of a cold.

I chose No because everytime I get it every year I alway's end up sick all winter and it is hard to get rid of it so I am not even gonna bother getting the flu shot.............

There's a place called Rachel's here in FL, it's an adult entertainment place. They're giving out free flu shots today, plus you get a free meal!!

Naked women, free food, flu shot....:crazy:

i will be getting mine this year. my mom makes me get one every year, whether it's free or not. but mine will be free this year because i volunteer at the hospital and they're giving flu shots for free for volunteers.

As far as i know, i have a strong immune system too, so i feel no need to get a flu shot. Plus i have heard that a lot of people get sick after getting the shot, so i think i will pass. it's suppose to help you, not make you sick.

Probably not.

Well, not the Walgreens in my area.

And I'm one of those people caught between a rock and a hard place--can't afford insurance, yet can't qualify for public health aid.

Thank God for that $4 prescription program or I would really be up in a creek with my meds.

I might, if I can work it into my schedule.

No, I never get flu shots.

I received my flu shot on Monday, as I didn't want to risk getting sick this flu season.

Yes, I started back in Nov. 2001

I got mine a few weeks ago at my doctor's appointment.

I got mine today at Kroger's. The cost was $28.00--last time I got it I think I paid only $20.
