misfish Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) 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?

lew Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey buoy Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaf4 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited November 19, 2014 by Brian B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 not for me or my family. we have something called a immune system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 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 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingfrog Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 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.

Beans Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 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 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
