Probably have had it like 6 or 7 times. Every time I've gotten the shot I've gotten it.

I've had it at least 4 times in my life. As a matter of fact, I had it last week. After a day and a half I got a prescription for Tamiflu and was on the mend within 24 hours.

I never got it until post military life. I had the flu shot for 6 years on active duty then the first year out I didn’t get the shot and caught the flu.

Then I got it again about 2 years ago. Both times without the shot.

I have had it a bunch of times

I caught real deal pneumonia and thought I was going to die. It left scar tissue in my lungs

Had flu a couple times years ago. Got the flu shot ONE TIME year before last AND GOT THE FLU! I'll never have the flu shot again. Might work for some, but the 1 time I got the shot, I got the flu. If my maths still works, that's 100% flu shot bad for me.

Once, in 2009, it was horrible. Since then, I take the flu shot.

many times

When living in Florida, we were doomed to catch it from the Snowbirds, who would bring all their diseases South for the Winter.

Had it for the first time since 2011 a few weeks ago. Was bad for about 3 days then just felt tired for another 5 without any really bad symptoms. Probably would’ve felt better sooner if I was able to sleep more. My 7 year old had it too, so I was his caregiver.

I work in a hospital and get a lot of flu patients up for physical therapy. Three little Petri dishes at home. It was inevitable at some point. I’ve never gotten the shot.

Once when I was like 6 or 7. Still not sure if that’s even what it technically was or not, so the real answer may be 0.

I’ve never had the flu shot either(not saying that did anything one way or the other).
