Already had the flu in September so no need for the shot. I’ve only ever had the shot three times in my life.

Being leery or hesitant of taking vaccines is a healthy ideology. Being leery about the flu shot because of Covid is silly.
The science behind the flu shot is decades old. If you took it before Covid, why would you not take it now? The flu shot is not the same as the Covid shot. It had not changed.
If you said you never took it and never will, I could respect that. But saying you’re not sure of it now just shows that you’re a sheep, easily led about here or there.
Also, the flu shot doesn’t prevent the flu, it simply mitigates the affects should you be exposed.
I’ve had my flu shot this year, ftr.

I dont actively go out looking for the shot so I dont end up getting it most years but I have gotten mine already a week ago.

I think/guess I probably got flu shots from the pediatrician when I was a kid? I haven’t had the flu since I was a kid.

The only time I have ever had the real flu was after I had a flu shot. So I don't get flu shots.

A, but NOT the new Moderna one. Trivalent, I believe it’s called, for me.

The flu shot has shite in it that gives you alzheimer's plus it’s always chasing last year’s strain.

I’m an A — I get a flu shot every year. It’s been around for decades, it’s well-studied, and it’s always kept me from getting knocked out by the flu. COVID changed a lot of people’s trust, but the flu shot isn’t new tech or experimental. It’s just part of my routine because it works for me.

Somewhere between B/C

I dont actively avoid them but never really in the mood for one, but if you’ve ever gotten a real bad case of the flu you’ll spend the whole time wishing you got the shot.

Because it's the same pharmaceutical companies involved with both.
They fooled us once with Covid , why should we believe them now and assume they aren't adding something else in it?
Trust was lost.

I’m not against getting one but I can’t remember the last time I did. I probably should. The last time I got the flu was brutal.
