No because I would be that one person who's sick all winter because of it.

Nope. Don't need it. I get the flu about once every seven years or so.

I've been getting them regularly for several years, with no ill effects. I woulda got this one a couple years ago, but I plan to donate blood Tuesday and I didn't know the time allowed from last vaccination. Will be getting it next Thursday or Friday. It is covered by my health insurance at work and given by Walgreens.

Nope. I don't trust them. The creation/spread of AIDS in the third world countries was caused by a "vaccination" that was supposed to help with polio. So one vac can give you a completely different disease. If the govt wanted to test us as guinea pigs, that is one of the easiest ways to do it.

If I were to get one, I would prefer it be from my doctor. I am really leery of those promotional flu shots that drug stores and businesses offer.

Lemme guess. You read that on the Web.
I also read that HIV does not cause AIDS.

I never used to get the flu shot--my immune system has always been on the better side, having worked with patient specimens and built up antibodies over the years in the lab. I was basically forced to get one when I was on chemo 2 years ago, and it made me feel like hell, already being immunosuppressed, but after about a week, it turned around and I felt pretty damn good.
Last year I got one of my own accord, and overall, I thought it was a good thing--I didn't get my annual sinus infection, so I think I'll try it again this year.

Well, it was a very busy first day back from my trip to St. Louis.
One thing I did was get my flu shot.
Med insurance pays for it and it was very convenient at Walgreens.

I get them every year. But it's not really optional as they are manditory for me.Alan Smithee wrote:Shale's movie blog brought this to mind. Do you get a flu shot?

Giving intramuscular injections is not too complicated. I was trained on the job at a clinic in India, how to aspirate and give injections. A little tricky on the hip shots, to miss the nerve but never had a problem. These are given in the arm, a pretty safe location.Chris wrote:If I were to get one, I would prefer it be from my doctor.

So, I trusted the pharmacist to give this injection with a thin needle.

I may trek it to my physician to get a flu shot, because I'm not feeling that great today.

Just don't do it if you have a fever though.
From the CDC site:
If you are sick with a fever when you go to get your flu shot, you should talk to your doctor or nurse about getting your shot at a later date. However, you can get a flu shot at the same time you have a respiratory illness without fever or if you have another mild illness.
