flu shot
I had the flu shot today and my arm is killing me - I hate needles but every year I go through this.
shareHow many times has the shot made you sick, or have you gotten the flu anyway?
I don't get flu shots but as I get older the propaganda starts to get to me and I
wonder if I am missing out on something?
The flu shot has never made me sick just a sore arm. I have not had the flu in about 10 years so I don't want to mess with it
shareThat's a normal reaction and the only negative one I've ever dealt with. For me, the soreness was minimal, routine and easily worked through because I'm blue-collar and my work has always kept me physically active.
I used to get the shot every year and once read that in doing so, the immunity has a cumulative effect. I've also not had the flu in many years now even though I haven't had a shot in quite a few.
I'm ready for the winter - bring it on
shareThose were my thoughts as well
Seems my coworkers get sick a lot anyway(unless their lying to get out of work...)
I never get the shot and im still walking around
One of the reasons you don't get the flu is that many people do get a flu shot and that keeps the flu from spreading. Then those of you who didn't get the shot have less of a chance to catch the flu.
shareThat was a reasonable and polite response
I dont know how long youll last here
But good luck!
