Famous last words.

I've never had one. I know I've had the flu once.

I read an interesting article that said that dry air is good for the flu and humid sure is not (counter intuitive to my thinking). I've always lived in humid climates. I guess that's good.

Didnt get one last yr. First time in yrs.

Came down with the flu. First time in yrs..

Will be getting one this yr.

Nope here. Never have, doubt I ever will. Not needed...

No... I do not do shots if I can get away with it.

yup. today as a matter of fact. 3 years running, i do my wife doenst. she has been sick 3 years, and i may catch a mild cold.

she is coming with me.

got it yesterday - free at work. I've had the flu a handful of times. I've gotten the shot for the past few years and had no ill effects (knock on wood).

I get one every year and haven't had the flu in a long, long time. (Knock on wood)

So, medical professionals. Almost all of you do not get the shot. My ex-wife also a medical professional also refused. Her stated reason was Guillain Barre Syndrome.

For the rest of the Medical professionals, what is your reason for not getting the shot?

My wife's hospital about half the staff refuse the shot. Many question its effectiveness and the quality of the vaccine, plus GBS.
Many opt for tamiflu.

Astounding that you are divorced with such insight.:p

Steve, it is not that humidity is bad for the virus, it is good for your mucous membranes.

I've never had a flu shot and probably never will. I have a pretty good immune system so far. Knock on wood.

parents have been getting the shot every year for some time. and they always get a bad cold at some point over the winter.

i never get the shot. some winters i might get sick, some winters i dont.
but i am not around those little petri-dishes you call children that much. seems all the parents around the office always take more sick days than us single types.

brown bottle flu usually a bigger problem for me...

I'm not getting one this year. I have only had 2 in my life and they where the first two years after the micro preemie came home.

same here.....

Nope, not in a high risk group...

Nope, never have, never will. I hate needles.

We had a conference in January this year, someone brought the flu. It landed on 20-25 out of 100 people, I was one. I felt bad for a few days, but thought the strain was pretty weak. Never lost my appetite, and should have been working, but the office folk said, "Don't bring that stuff around here!".

I don't know if there is any truth to it, but a few Dr's claimed it was the H1N1. One gentleman from Arkansas died, some from California reported they had never felt worse in their lives.

I shake hands with people everyday, so I see a lot of germs. My immune system works fine.

I suppose my great grand mother would roll over in her grave knowing needles aren't welcomed in these veins. She was a nurse in N.C., aiding thousands affected with the 1919 flu epidemic.

Have gotten the shot every year since 75/76? Never had the flu. Last year was the first year I didn't get one. Since I retired and moved to FL last year, I haven't even gotten a sniffle. (knock on wood)

This is how the Zombie apocalypse starts.........Mayhem and anarchy

Heck no. Why would I want the flu?
