Fair enough.

I just hate being sick & the flu can go from 2-6 weeks in duration before you feel better.

I guess it is better to stay away from runny noses!

LOL!

Our company offers them free to all employees and their spouses - has nothing to do with age and EVERYTHING to do with not giving us any excuse to miss work!

If you eat right -stay away from caffeine and sugar, take extra Vitamin C, you will do well, without the vaccines.

No thanks, its a waste of nerves to tolerate such ineffective needles!

Yep, I am cheap!

Re: I Got My Flu Shot - Did You?

I would get one if I was in a high risk catagory... senior or already sick.

I have absolutely no scientific evidence to back this up, but I am of the mind that I need to let my own body fight off illnesses as much as possible. If I continue to get the flu shot each year, my own immune system may get lazy.

I also think that the more immunizations we have, the more the "bugs" just mutate and new strains of things emerge. I'll get it when I feel I need it. Hopefully not for many years.
