Flu Season is here. Get your shot, yet?
 

"Every year as flu season emerges, so too do myths and misconceptions about the flu shot.
Some people avoid getting the vaccine because they don’t think it works well enough to be worth it. Some think they are too healthy to need it. And some worry it will make them sick, possibly remembering a time when they got the shot and fell ill soon after.
“That’s the one I always hear from the taxi driver and the person at the grocery store: ‘The flu vaccine is going to give me the flu,’ ” says Mark Thompson, an epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. “That is a persistent myth.”" WP

Well? Did you?

Certainly. Every year. I'll take every edge I can get.

Sure did!

I’d be as dumb as a Trumpkin to not get my annual flu shot!

Never got the flu shot until the Navy forced me to get it. Damn near killed me every year until I got out. Haven't had a flu shot since 1986...…...Haven't had the flu, either.

But, that's me. Whatever works for you is great.

Guess you should be thankful. Sounds like the Navy gave you enough different doses to immunize you against all strains forever. ;)

My mother (almost 92) and I got the flu shot about two weeks ago. In addition to that, mother got a pneumonia vaccination.

I got one.
