If so, why?

If not, why not?

Yes, because daycare requires it.

He's not even 3 and has had the flu twice.

My work requires it as well.

I'm 40 and have never had the flu.

Yes, because a person smarter than me, the pediatrician, recommended it.

No, Risk/reward is not great enought due to low effectiveness

I've never had a flu shot. I've also never had the flu.

My wife and kids get flu shots every year. My wife has had the flu once. My kids never have.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

But that girl I went to high school with who has a marketing degree and is a stay at home mom posted on facebook that shots are bad. Like really bad. I think I'm going to side with the girl. She seems like she knows what she's talking about.

They’ve got a flu mist for young kids. Much easier and a no brainer decision

My almost 4 year old and my 20 month old got flu shots Friday. I was kind of concerned about the 20 month old because he had 4 seizures and a stroke (now they say "stroke like activity") the day he had his 18 month shots.

Mechanics are smarter than you when it comes to cars, do you always go for all their repairs? I wonder if there is any possible motive they may have for recommending certain things?

yes, I've started getting one every year. Not so much for me, but b/c my parents are old & frail and I try and protect them

When I picked a pediatrician for my kid, one of my criteria’s was someone who didn’t give off the slimy, dishonest mechanic vibe.

No. They’re over 5 and still no.
