I got the flu shot and I haven't had the flu yet, however; I did have a really bad cold a week or two before Christmas that kept me down for 2 or 3 days. I had flu like symptoms, but it wasn't the flu. I am always curious as to how many people who claim to have the flu are self diagnosing themselves because they have symptoms.

Up until 2 or 3 years ago, I use to be one of those "I don't need the flu shot", but then I realized there is no point for me to no get it. It takes all of 20 seconds to get the shot, and even if it doesn't protect from all strains, being protected from some strains decreases your chances of getting the flu than if you had 0 protection.
