Flu shots. You getting one?

I don't believe in shooting my body with drugs.

i think the flu shots running out is part of Saddam's bio war against us.

Got one already

They forced my company to get one. I'd gladly have passed on it, but don't have that option. They poke me with so many needles that I don't know what I've gotten shots for.

last year i skipped the shot. i flew around the holidays and came down with the flu and it was like the worst hell you can imagine.

i lost ten lbs in a week and missed five days of work. you cannot imagine how sick you get until you actually have the true influenza (not a bad cold).

i will never NOT get a flu shot again. i had mine weeks ago and i understand it is now hard to get in the face of an epidemic.

i am not convinced there will be a major outbreak. the press loves a story like a scary virus to blow out of proportion so they can get higher ratings. remember how we were all going to die of SARS?

i don't get flu shots.

I just listen to my body....it gives you signs of fighting infection all the time.

Then just take the proper steps- sleep alot, take extra vit C, suck zinc lozenges or halls defense or whatever constantly.

for me it always ends up gone before it can truly affect my life.

chewy you may listen to your body but microorganisms are sneaky. they can infect you when you are stressed or not sleeping well or close to a person who is sick and contagious.

you can still catch a flu or a cold if you are healthy and not immune to that particular strain. that is why a flu shot is recommended.

i'm not saying my method is fullproof...i agree with what you said...

just saying that i haven't had any flu shots and this method has worked pretty well for me so far.

I got one a month ago.

I got hit with the flu last week, and it was more of a minor annoyance than really being sick. It's definately worth getting, as it helps you fight off the flu with minimal suffering in a matter of days rather than weeks.

too late LOL.

I already got the flu. I will be over it soon so there is no point.
