Do you get a flu shot?

839 adults and children have died from the flu, just in this past week (Dec 24-Dec31) nationwide. It would appear that the "flu shot" isn't working out to great this year. I know our hospital and clinics have been overwhelmed, with people with the flu (over 1000-but nobody has died)

The last time I got a flu shot was in 2008 and I got the flu. Even my doctor doesn't think I should get one and I'm a diabetic.

I don't, never have. I don't seem to get the flu very much, and if I do I just ride it out!

Sorry if you thought I was being nasty and cranky but your post to call attention to my edit makes no sense at all. Perhaps you were trying to be funny and if that's the case you're doing a very poor job of it.

I was not "calling attention" to anything... YOU are the one who brought that UP..... and Yes, I've been called historical before... but I had no intention of being funny here!!! But since your a comedy critic, I'll try harder next time.....

I got a flu shot. Like Chicken soup, I figure it cant hurt but it might help.

I heard that a flu shot is only 64% effective, also that there's 2 kinds-high dose and low dose.

Still; I think it's stupid to not get one.

How are you feeling Treky? Is your cold better?

I'm not one who gets flu shots. I believe in the old drink your juice, early to bed , early to rise, eat well , get fresh air and exercise and you will be well ! Before I get shots for things . I'm old school!!!

treky · 01-04-2015, 02:10 AM
