Flu shot time already...

I have a doctor's appointment tues. so i imagine he will want to give me the flu. Last year was the first time i had ever had one. he didn't ask me he just told me the nurse was going to give me one. I don't know if i'll get the hini when it comes available or not.

Hello my friend I think I had a flu shot one time, never again I was so sick after doing this not worth it to me, I don't get sick too often no sense trying to fix something that is not broken lol . Thank you.

I have not got the flu shot yet. I am waiting for that. I have been reading the newspaper every morning to check when and where the flu shots will be available. I had the flu shot last year. I sure will have it this year as soon as it is announced. I do a lot of traveling. So, the flu shot is really very necessary wherever one travels.

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji, I fully understand your theme of discussion. I remmeber, while my hubby was in Armed Forces, there used to be regular Innoculation and vaccination administrated to all soldiers and proper records maintained. I remmeber, if we are going to our home town, and if cholara is broken, we used to get that anti- dose for taht and tehn only our leave travel used to recommanded. But after leaving service, this practice ha sbeen forgotton. Now-a-days, we take as and when there is a requirement of same. So there isnothing pre-scheduled here. But, I think it is very important to safe guard ourselves against many diseases. Thank you Karenji May God bless You and have a great time.

Are you getting a flu shot because you have a high risk factor or because you are being cautious? Have you ever not had one and not gotten the flu or vice versa? Just curious...

Hi Karen.. On days ago I often had the flu and it makes my nose stuffy. After I check a doctor about the flu that I suffered, there is said in the symptoms of polyps in the nose and it makes me scared.. Factor, I am allergic to dust and at exhaustion. In addition I run a periodic treatment for the healing process

We don't like to get our shots to early. If we do we don't get protection as long as we need it, I think is only last about 5 months.

Havent gotten flu shot yet, but will once my doctor gets it. As for the H1N1, I probably wont get the shot for that one.

Where I live, in India, there is no real education about health issues. Unfortunately,preventive medication is not a 'Real' issue.The only shots I have got till now is for Pox and Polio and that was 48 years ago. The good thing is I have not had any serious infectious disease till now. Lucky I guess.

Just the other day i was talking about the flu shot. Im 22 and I haven't had it in years. The statistics make me a little weary, they say it's less than 50% effective with all these new strands that come out. I don't see it worth the risk of taking it. I haven't had the flu in years. Enough rest, plenty of water, and fruits have kept me. Whenever I feel sickish, I reach for an orange.

Im so sORRY! I hate flu shots or any kind of shots. Im truly scared oif needles so i try to avoid get ting sick and shots as much as i can. D: In California, while the news has spread, people are taking it less likely, well in my area. Most people dont talk about it anymore, some people are also thinking the flu is bogus. Some people think that scientists set it up, well we have no proof so good luckD:
