Are you getting a flu shot?

This is now the third winter in a row that I’m refusing to get one.

Yes. I received one last year for the first time in 13 years and I ended up getting the flu for the first time in 13 years....
If I get sick again this year I will never get another one.

I didn't get one last year and got the flu. It sucked donkey testicles. I got one this year.

I’ve not had one since 2011 when the government forced me to get one. I’ve never had the flu whether or not I got the shot.

No. I have an effective immune system. I had a sore throat for 12 hours a few days ago and it went away. Solid immune system > flu shot.

Why bother?
If I get sick, I'll take some DayQuil and power through it. I'm not some pussy.

No.

Yes. I get one every year. I like to help prevent the spread of diseases.

I'm approaching 71 and had the flu twice in my life, once as a young boy and then at 27. Never had a flu shot but if I get the flu and die this season, I'm never gonna speak to y'all again for bringing this up.

Never
Posted on 12/10/18 at 1:12 am to Parmen
Yes, because I’ve had the flu and will do anything that even slightly decreases my chances of getting it again.

Last time I got a flu shot, was 17 years ago. And that was the last year I got the flu, too.
I work around/with biohazardous waste on a daily basis, so I think I might get immunity through miniscule doses. But no, I will never get a flu shot again. We have 11 employees in our facility, and last year 8 of them got a flu shot. Six of those 8 got the flu- nobody who declined the shot got sick. That's more than coincidence, no matter what the doctors say.

Why is this shite on the Poli Board?
Posted on 12/10/18 at 5:41 am to Parmen
They started me on a pneumonia shot. Y'all ever had one. It is a series of boosters.

Last time I had the flu was the last time I had a flu shot. 2005
You can get one at a drive thru window- seems a bit fricked if you ask me. Why would anyone want that??

hell no ! what good is a vaccine against a flu
virus that has mutated into an entirely new virus?....i ask my doctor this and he only answered "it helps"....we have never taken one and don't get the flu....you get flu from other people so taking precautions against other people is the best vaccine

I've not had the flu in 30+ years and started getting the flu shot probably 20 years ago. Never had a reaction post vaccine and never had any flu like symptoms after the shot. How many years did the vaccine keep me from getting the flu? No way to know. Does it hurt or make your arm sore? Maybe a little for a day or so. I worked in healthcare so it was really necessary for me to get one. I would never try to persuade anyone to get one other than close family. I would never discourage either. Granted, some years the coverage is better than others like last year missed the mark. But, they try to predict the most prevalent or likely strain and develop the vaccine around that. It's a crap shoot.
