When I was working in an office (not near children) we were actually given free flu shots if we wanted them. Because of medical problems I continued having them after I retired. Normally if you get sick afterwards it means you have already come in contact with flu or something similar. The only minor problem I have ever had was a sore arm for a couple of days (not every time) This year there has been a spate of pneumonia, some they had to admit to hospital. They are the ones that hurt…for a few days. Apparently they last for more than one year….not sure how long for.

I think if you are elderly, pregnancy or probe to heart/lung problems, then you should most definitely have the flu shot.

Unfortunately, the flu can be life threatening. Maybe not yo you, but you could catch it and pass it on to someone who does have a life threatening reaction to it. I’m all for as many vaccinations as you can get to eliminate/reduce disease

I have never had the flu shot would also like to here some opinions

stories are great

The shot works … and its alot more cost effective than taking a week off work sick

I’ve never had a flu shot…yet!

Certainly we have it in our family to reduce the risk of unpleasant illness.
