I have to get a flu shot for work. Getting one every year is getting to be a drag.

I have never had a flu shot. I never get the flu any more often than anyone else anyway, so why waste my time, money, and run the same (or perhaps higher) chance of getting the flu, and have to deal with getting stuck by a needle? I friggin' hate needles. Screw all that.

You do realize that they have the Flumist (nasal spray) and Pharmajet (needle-less injector, basically a high pressure spray against your skin) as alternatives to the needle injection, right?

Not sure about Pharmajet, but from what I've heard the needle is more effective on average than the Flumist.

I worked in a hospital for 12 years and have never gotten a flu shot, and never will.

BTW, did you know some people can fight off HIV on their own. That's awesome.

I dont get flu shots and i also dont get the flu. Its last years strain anyways they are injecting you with so it probably wont help much at all anyways.
