Do you and your kids get the flu shot?

Don't have kids but they would if I did. I get one at CVS on a lunch break every year. Insurance covers it and it takes 5 minutes.

Nope.

Haven’t gotten a flu shot in 12 years and don’t plan on getting one anytime soon.

Never did till my wife got pregnant. Had on the past few years now as a precaution.

Can't wait to read all the moronic anecdotes.

My wife does every year but I don't. I haven't had the flu in so long that I can't really remember the last time. Besides, one of the possible drawbacks of many of these type shots is the very small chance of contracting GBS and it's not something I'd ever wish on anyone.

My stepson got it back in 05 when he was 20 and inside of 2 weeks of the onset, he was paralyzed from the neck down and it took over 5 months to run it's course enough for him to become remotely ambulatory. When he could finally walk again, he looked like a newborn calf he was so unsteady on his feet.

That’s like asking if anyone else likes licking turtles. And don’t give me any of that bullshite about salmonella.

Nope and you're a fricking idiot if you purposely inject aluminum and other chemicals into your body. By the way, I've never had the flu, yet I know people who get a flu shot, then get the flu right after. I just shake my head.

Ummm yeah

Time to get mine this friday

Yes. But I also work with kids and some are immunocompromised. So it only makes sense for me to not be the a-hole that makes it easier for them to contract the flu.

Yep
