I do receive any immunizations that are suggested or that I really need. I have had the pneumonia vaccine and will be receiving my flu immunization soon. I do feel that for me these immunizations are important to my health.

I never go for flu shots or any other shots. If I don't feel good I go to my doctor. And I think I have to go soon.

If shots is not your thing to do than hey it is your decision but I am glad you do go and see your doctor.

@Marcyaz I do only when I feel I need to. Not for regular checkups though. My girlfriend bugs me all the time to go. I will go sometime this week.

Well since the flu shots are already here I will be going for that and then I will check up on my other ones to make sure I don't need anything else.

Howard I also need to see if I need anything else while I am there for the flu shot. I don't think so but you never know about a booster. Glad to hear you will be going for your flu shot.

I never get any shots..I've always been healthy and don't like what they put in them, but if they seem to help you, Good!

Hi Marcy. I am glad that these immunizations help you. They do seem to help some people. The ones that I got for my son the childhood ones, did some damage to him, so I am not really for them for us anyways. It just depends on the person I guess. Some people are extra sensitive to them.

Yes Ocean, some people are extra sensitive to the immunizations. I myself have a problem not with immunizations but with some medications and have been in some trouble with them so my doctors know I cannot have those.

My daughter got her first shots yesterday. Yesterday my heart was broken. Even though I know they are important for her health but I still hate it

Oh I do remember how that is for a mother and child but it is to make sure she keeps healthy. You did the right thing for your child by making the appointment for her shot.

@Marcyaz I know. It is one of the worst thing to go through though
