No, because they cause the flu and are just a way for the government to keep its citizens scared and controlled.



:p
Nah, I have a really good immune system and I have yet to get the flu. I'll leave the supply for those who need it.

there isn't a shortage this year, ample supply. they've learned their lesson about that i believe, and last year there was a surplus.

Not a chance in hell. The only thing they seem to do is get me sick. Years without flu shot = no flu, or only one flu. Years with flu shot = immediate flu, followed by 3-4 bouts of flu.

I have refused all inoculations since typhoid in the navy. That was the worst.

For me it's a lesser of two evils
Needle and no flu
No Needle and possible flu

I'm absolutely terrified of needles.
When I got my tetanus shot I was shaking so bad the doctor had his office assistant hold my arm still

Right now I'm leaning towards possibly flu and no needle

I probably will but only because I have a 2 year old daughter. Otherwise I wouldn't.

No.

I've had the Flu one time in my life, when I was 10. I rarely get sick. My immune system is pretty good.

Last flu shot I got was when the Navy forced us all to be a guinea pigs for that ridiculous swine flu scare.

Cheers!

I had that too. The "Mist" is much worse than the shot!

Yes. My work is providing them for free. Given that I take public transportation to and from work, I figure it's probably a good idea. Having the windows closed during the winter with everybody coughing and sneezing on the bus really rubs me the wrong way.

Nope....I never get one since I am usually stay healthy (knocks on wood).

Ironically, several coworkers got the free shot, then promptly got the flu b/c of it ;)
