PF...
Absolutley. I have Asthma and am taking Enbrel shots for arthritis, so I can't afford to get the flu. Not getting the shots is like saying you know someone who knows someone whos aunt knew someone who's dog knew someone that was saved from injury by not wearing a seat belt. However, there could be those who have allergies (to the flu shots, not seat belts) and that would be a valid reason.

HI there,
I have a very weak immune system so I avoid flu shots. I got one a couple of years back and it made me very sick. To add insult to injury, I still got flu twice that year afterwards.

I got a flu shot for the first time last year. It didn't make me sick. I had a relative who got one and it must have hit a nerve or something because her arm ached for a year. Hard.

I never get flu shots, because I rarely get sick.
I tried to get sick several times before, because I wanted to skip school... it never worked. Sometimes having a healthy body is such a bother!

I disagree, she didn't want the shot and my brother and the doc suggested it. that as far as I know was the first time she ever had one and in 8 months she was dead and it started with the flu and then it went into pneumonia. And people always tell you they got sick worse than if they hadn't had the shot

the flu
Guess I don't have common sense as I feel that is what caused my mom to decline very fast, a lot of people get sicker with the shot then they do the flu itself, you wont see me getting it, nor a real small child or a really old person

I'm not convinced that it even is a better option, Passionflower, the study
that I read said that the Center for Disease Control can only guess at which strains of flu are going to be the most prevalent for the year. Like I said, I'll let the old folks, the AIDS patients and the young kids have mine, since they're more at risk of getting pnumonia if complications develop and take my own chances.
I haven't had it in a few years.

Blanche - that argument doesn't make any sense.
The flu shot feels like a pin prick and last about 3 seconds. The flu feels like an army marched over you trampling you into the dirt. You can't even raise your head. You can't eat or sleep - You want to DIE for days on end.

I like my odds, Passionflower, I still say they're better without it.
From what I've read, they need them for people with compromised immune systems more, so I won't be depriving some elderly, HIV or other immunosuppressed person of theirs, who could get a life-threatening infection. I'm pretty danged tough, and healthy. It's all this peasant blood, Irish/Russian/American mutt that I am.
