I get mine at work too and I think it helps so much to get people to take the shot because it's there and easy on the schedule (no doctors appointment, copay, etc).

Re: Flu Shot - Not entirely work related

The only time I have ever gotten one was when I was pregnant, and that was mainly to protect the baby.

I am on the fence about getting a yearly shot, but would definitely get it at my company if I wanted to, since it would save me the co-pay of my insurance, and for the convenience of not having to take time off from work to go get it.

I have never had the flu shot and have never had the flu but because I am in the health field now I have to get it. Its mandatory. I'm not happy about it.

That would be so convenient. I wish that was an option for me. I would definitely get the shot at work rather than at the drs office.

Our office does them for free... actually lots of people were getting them today.

I have never got a flue shot and never intend to. I am just not comfortable with it.

Re: Flu Shot - Not entirely work related

you will not get a cold or the flu if you have the start of one and you get the shot. If you are sick it's a good idea to wait but getting it won't necessarily have that effect.

My company offers it and I think it's great. I get it every year. I have an underlying condition.

I still wouldn't get it.


I've never had the flu shot.

I've never had the flu.

I'm not in a range where I feel I need it......

Re: Flu Shot - Not entirely work related

ever since getting the flu 2 years ago and being absolutely miserable for 5 days and so, so sick, I get the flu shot now. If my office offered it, I would most def get it. Makes it a lot easier than going to the Drs office
