Flu Shot
Do you get it?
theyre doing them in my office right now- i cant decide if i should get one or not. Ive never gotten one, but i feel like if i dont, i'm jinxing myself.
Do you usually get the shot?

Re: Flu Shot
Every year for the past 15 years. There are a lot of myths aboht the flu shot--there is no way you can get sick from it (unless you're allergic to eggs) because it is not made from a live virus. You may get a different strain of the flu, but why not get it as insurance?

Not at all...Just a sore arm if the nurse isn't too good at giving needles!

Re: Flu Shot
Thanks so much, Ladies! 
i went downstairs and got one- the nurse was gentle with me  and said just to take some advil if my arm hurts. I have a feeling this season is going to be bad... so i'd rather be safe than sorry.
Thank you again

Re: Flu Shot
I probably would, but I am allergic to eggs. I should look into the spray one.

Re: Flu Shot
I've never gotten one but that's because with my health issues it would be in my best interest not to. If I could, I would!
