I've never been sick enough to need one, knock on wood.

Have you ever checked out herbal stuff at a health food store?   They're great!

I definately want it!  Like I said I've always had a good experience with the flu shot when I took it.  I had a bad time without it.  Sorry it didn't work for you!

I tend to get sick more when I take the flu vaccine...

it's inefective, only prevents one variety and not always that one...who wants it...not me...

and, I'll let you in on another secret
many doctors want the young and elderly to get flu shots because it makes them more money, that is the target group that is susceptable to having an adverse reaction to the vaccine, thereby bringing them back to the doctors office and getting more payola. The ones who don't get the vaccine come to the doctors office and they pay the doctor too, either way the doctor makes money, and therefore so do the drug companies. Many times, I speak from first hand knowledge, doctors have a stash reserve of the vaccine, they hord it in other words. They just don't want the public to know that.
Guess I should have just written a post!

the biggest reason
for the shortage is that we get a majority of our vaccine from England. The shipment came in and all of it was contaminated.
