Tiz the time,,,,,,,FLU SHOT

[misfish]

Do you,or dont you????????????

 

 

I DO

 

I have been getting it for the last 6 years. It,s not that Im getting older,but due to I like my outdoor playing and hate being sick and missing out.

 

I have noticed the last few years it does work. I could feel like crap for a day,then just as fit as a fiddle the next and good to go.

 

I see no reason to stop taking it.

 

So do you or dont you?

Never have and as long as I can help it, never will.

[lew]

I almost never get a cold or the flu and have never had a flu shot so I'm gonna stay that way as it seems to work well for me.

 

Now I'm gonna go knock on some wood.

Flu shots are not for everyone. They're not for me.

[davey buoy]

Never had one,and have never been sick/ill for more than a day. Why mess with something that's working?. Not one lost day in two years to illness.

[leaf4]

Used to when I was younger with my parents bringing me but I haven't for the past 10 years at least, and haven't ever gotten anything more than a regular cold, the stuff they put in it is not for me lol

[misfish]

Well I for one can tell you, I have had the flu a few times. Even real bad colds. Twice to the point I was admitted into the hospital due to dehydration . Maybe it,s a family thing.

not for me or my family.

 

we have something called a immune system

[BillM]

Haven't had the flu shot in years.. Although I tend to think that's more laziness then anything else

 

I'm sure if I had a bunch of kids bringing home anything and everything from daycare/school I'd get it.

[misfish]

It,s just not kids. Todays world,people think they cant miss a days work or get fired or what ever and go to work sicker then a dog. This part I cant stand. Being the guy that has to fix the machines they are working on,I find it added protection.

I just used kids as an example because they'd be exposed to hundreds of other rugrats at school. I'm not in contact with 100 people in a month, lol

Yup.

[kickingfrog]

I work with a vulnerable population. I get it so maybe I don't give the flu to them.

I get a flu shot every year,

It works for me.

[solopaddler]

Never had a flu shot in my life and have never had the flu.

[kickingfrog]

I don't go to work when I'm sick. That's for the people I work with and for. I wish more people would do the same.

 

For what it's worth, I never used to get sick either. Now with young kids they're bringing every bug home from school because people can't/won't keep their sick kids home.

[Sinker]

Nope

[Ralph Field]

I have been getting them every year and I believe they work for me. I also got the shot to help prevent shingles.

is it those sick kids that make you ill?

 

or your shots?

 

we need studies rob...

 

lol

[kickingfrog]

The kids bring home colds. I don't get the flu.

 

Why have studies when people refuse to follow advice?

so your concerned about colds giving you the flu???

 

and what advice are your referring to?

 

my mention of studies is just plain fun, cracking a joke.

Our doc holds a flu shot clinic every year for his patients 65 years of age and older...I am always amazed at the number of seniors that show up...Maribeth and I have been getting the shot ever since we moved up here in 2003 and hardly ever get a cold never mind the flu...

[moxie]

15 years ago the flu knocked me down so hard I couldn't lift my head off the pillow for the first week followed by two weeks of rashes, chills, aches and pains. Lost quite a bit of weight as well. Flu shot isn't for me though.
