Do you think they work and are you planning on getting one?

*ClassicPinUp* · 10-28-2007, 08:58 AM

My dad gets one every year and they seem to work for him.
I personally don't ever plan on getting one though.

I had one flu shot in my life and it was the absolute worst experience of my life.

Will never get one again. Had terrible reactions for months!!!! I don't reccommend to anyone.

My grandmother gets one but I hate shots and never get the flu....they don't help keep all of the strains off anyway. So no....maybe to be safe when I'm older, but not now.

My mom is a nurse, so she makes us get one every year. The shot hurts, but it's MUCH better than getting the flu!

I plan to get one.

We get them free at my work so I always get one. I think they work, in the past 5 years I have only gotten the flu once and it only lasted 3 days.

Yes.

This is actually something I've mulled over this year. The reason I've never gotten one is fear that something bad would happen, as you've mentioned. Maybe I'll think about it again when I'm older.

Last time I got one I got the flu anyway. And I hadn't had the flu for many seasons before that. So I have no plans on getting one. I'm taking vitamins and crossing my fingers.

catlover79 · 10-28-2007, 10:56 PM

I make sure to keep lots of tissues, hand wipes and hand sanitizer on my desk at work. Every little bit helps, right?

Zoneboy · 10-28-2007, 10:57 PM

Absolutely not.
