    mmm. I love having a strong immune system. I haven't had a flu shot, or flu, or anything other than a cold in...probably 7 or 8 years.

    The office started giving us free flu shots last year. I just got mine a couple weeks back. I've never had any side effects or anything, but one of my co workers felt pretty bad for a day or 2 afterwards.

    The only time I ever got one was a few years back, and it messed me right up for a couple of days, and to top it off I got the flu that year

    Never really been sick since.

    Got mine Monday. I lied and told them I hadn't been sick lately. My arm feels like I have a fever in it, similar to how I feel when my arthritis is at its worst. Other than that... I'm fine.

    Never got one. Never felt the need to. Although I think my new job requiers me to get one now. I will have to look in to it.

    in 1986 i got pneumonia for the fourth time (three different types),,,,,it was suggested that the flu shot would be a good idea.......started then and get one every year....got a bout of walking pneumonia in 1989....started on the P-shot after that.....the shot doesn't hurt..i get no bad reaction and haven't had any form of the flu (knock on wood)....makes good sense to me....

    why take a chance on something that could end up being very serious??.....

    I usually get sick once a year and right around this time. I have never had a flu shot and trying not to become dependent on them. keeping my fingers crossed.

    Ever since I started getting the flu almost every year about 5-10 years ago, I started getting my shot every year. And my doc recommended a pneumonia shot this year, so I took it, and she said I wouldn't need another one for at least 10 years.
