Hey people how many of us get them ? I’m going to be 59 in a few days and was wondering if anyone gets one ? Do they help? Sound off please and if you’re a Dr please chime in !! Clark .

herts9 · 15 November 2017, 01:28 AM

I used to not, but I have the last 3 years (I'm 37) and have not gotten so much as a cold afterwards.

The benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

SearChart · 15 November 2017, 01:32 AM

My body can take care of that, no shot needed.

Jimbogigolo · 15 November 2017, 02:13 AM

Get it.

The only year I got the flu was the year I got the shot.

OgSnowflake · 15 November 2017, 02:30 AM

Not really down with a formula grown in chicken eggs injected into my blood or nasal stream so I stick to chicken soup and warm clothes.

HL65 · 15 November 2017, 02:34 AM

I get one every year and have not gotten the flu since.

MonBK · 15 November 2017, 02:35 AM

I don't believe in shots.

mjclark32 · 15 November 2017, 02:51 AM

I just got back from getting one, but I only got it this year because of Dr's orders. Baby Clark gets here in ~two weeks

Pix · 15 November 2017, 03:14 AM

Nope

pickettt · 15 November 2017, 03:16 AM

Read the MSDS sheet from the manufacturer of Thimerosal, a preservative used in the flu vaccine. Then you can make a rational decision as to whether you want to put that into your body.

BNA/LION · 15 November 2017, 03:18 AM

I get one every year! I have not been getting the flu since I have been diligent in getting vaccinated.

Any protection from flu viruses that have been identified and that are making their way around the world is a Smart Decision. IMHO

That is why I am no longer getting it.

GoingPlaces · 15 November 2017, 03:32 AM

Every year, no flu since. Fingers crossed.

Same here.

keschete · 15 November 2017, 04:14 AM

It's about 50% effective. There are always stains not covered. Very young and elderly or those with chronic health conditions. I do not usually get it. I am an NP in urgent care and work around the flu all the time.

mtrunner · 15 November 2017, 04:17 AM

I am not going to get into the argument about the safety of vaccines especially the use of Thimerosal as a preservative. All I will say is that I have been working in vaccine development for over 20 years, though my focus is on cancer vaccines and immumotherapies. If you are in one of the high risk groups then you should definitely get the flu vaccine. Any risk you believe is in the vaccine is nothing compared to the consequences of getting the flu if you are in one of the high risk groups.

Bobcat09 · 15 November 2017, 04:46 AM

I've got a chronic health condition so I get the flu vaccine every year.

Maybelline · 15 November 2017, 04:59 AM

I’ll let my immune system protect me. No way I’m having a dead virus injected into me.

wantonebad · 15 November 2017, 05:19 AM

Had double pneumonia and a secondary chest infection two years ago so I'm required to get the flu shot as well as the pneumonia shots. Plus I'm getting older so doesn't make sense to "wing-it" without a shot.

Kneecough · 15 November 2017, 05:47 AM

Nope

The Joker · 15 November 2017, 05:56 AM

I got it last few years, they do it at work. No flu since. You get a dead arm for a day.

The way you wrap up, would of thought no need.

tyler1980 · 15 November 2017, 05:58 AM

i got in the habit after the last hospital where i worked in Houston required it. They can't make you get it technically, but if you don't, you have to wear a surgical mask all day long during flu season. Seriously. Now its just automatic.

stockae92 · 15 November 2017, 06:01 AM

I never do. But the rest of my family (wife and kids, and the grand parents) do.

there is no harm doing it. but i seldom got sick even without.

raulpsanch12 · 15 November 2017, 06:11 AM

Nope, think i'll pass on them. My body has done great at fighting off the flu.

wantonebad · 15 November 2017, 06:23 AM

Ahhh, you mean my soulmate avatar wraps up below, now I understand LOL

Just got mine this morning actually. I've had a bad case of the flu a handful of times in my life and I'd rather never get it again.

btinl · 15 November 2017, 06:46 AM

I get it every year. I'm required to have one for work; otherwise, I have to wear a mask all flu season.
