Will you get a flu shot this year? have you already?

I can’t remember the last time I got a flu shot, but was thinking of getting one this year. maybe next time I see my nurse.

it seems I get sick once a winter. last year it was a runny nose, that lasted 9 days, not the flu as I didn’t have fever. the last time I got the flu I was working in a warehouse and it totally drained me, I couldn’t work. so almost 10 years ago.

I never get the flu shot. I think it’s a bit hit and miss anyway.

I always get a flu shot. They are required by the nursing home I have volunteer status at. But I would get one even if they weren’t. Better safe than sorry!

I just got a flu shot. I missed the clinic at work so it was a priority for me to get it elsewhere. Anything I can do to lessen my chances of getting sick. The flu is miserable.

I haven’t gotten a flu shot these past few years, but I plan to get one this year. I haven’t gotten one scheduled yet, though.

I just got a 10 year tetanus shot. I told my nurse I garden and she said you can get tetanus from soil. so I agreed to one, didn’t hurt.

I always get the flu shot. I hate taking care of myself when I’m sick. Also the dogs and bird don’t understand. They still want food and water and the dogs want to go outside.

I got mine! Even if I get another strain it’ll be less severe. After needing to be in the hospital once with the flu, I always get one.

I just got mine as well. I just went down to see if it was possible to increase my risperidone to 8mg, to which he replied yes (delighted!) and he just suggested the flu vaccine. It was only his way of making more money out of me but I don’t care. The mans allowing me to increase my risperidone!

Isnt that the one where they inject you with the virus to check if your not already immune? That is pretty dangerous @anon90843118.

I am getting myne on Saturday. I get one free every year because I have asthma. Good news for me too because I become really ill when I get flu, I must have a weak immune system or something.

Oh no, I think it’s the one where they just try to build up an immunity to hep b because they think I’m at risk of contracting hep b at the time.

To check for the virus, they did blood tests.

Thanks for the concern @anon98459728

Went to the pharmacy to get a jab yesterday and it was packed with seniors. Didn’t feel like trying to crowd surf white hair. Will try again tomorrow.

I get a flu shot every year like clockwork and I also catch the flu almost every year like clockwork. And, yes, I will get one this year.
