Flu shots?

[Tiramisu]

Boy how time flies and things change! I got my flu shot this morning. They come to our office/building and they're free. Don't know if they work, but they don't seem to hurt!

I'm getting a flu shot this year, just because I'm working at the nursing home now and it's recommended.
I hope you're able to get the blood pressure under better control!

I've never had a flu shot... I'm pretty sure I have to pay for them here. And I'm cheap I had to pay for a hepatitis shot last year before going to Mexico, and it was expensive.

Nope none of us get the flu shot, not even Micah, i got one, one year and it made me so sick i'll never get one again... i think Micah is to young for a flu shot, and if it made me that sick i'm scared what it would do to him..

I don't get them either. Fight with my mother every year about it..

Funny thing is, she and my sisters and all their kids get them every year and guess what? Every year they all get the flu!!! I haven't had the flu for so many years I don't remember the last time. I am fortunate that I am very healthy, rarely catch a cold or anything. (knock on wood)

I'm getting a free flu shot this weekend. Our company set it up. There's a website you go to to find a clinic in your area and then you register and print a coupon to pay for it when you go. In our area, the clinic listed is a Target store. Last year I got one and paid for it myself at an HEB (grocery) pharmacy.

It seems to me that the years I get a flu shot I don't get the flu and get fewer if any colds. I just seem to be healther with it. May not be the same for everyone. My hubby claims that the shot gave him the flu one year. I'm not so sure it was the flu, but oh well.

Tink, so glad you found a nice doctor who cares. Mine is okay. He makes me feel like he doesn't have time for me sometimes, and I only go once or twice a year when I need to. Don't know how that could be a bother. He always seems to be in a rush to get to an emergency at the hospital. Seems to happen almost every time, so how could it be real. He's hispanic and many of his patients are hispanic. There is more spanish spoken in his office than english. Sometimes I wonder if some of his patients don't have insurance so they go to the emergency room during the day for treatment and that is why he's always needing to run over there. A hospital emergency room is across the street from the office building he is in.
