    To Flu Shot...or Not to Flu Shot...that is the question

    No didn’t get flu shot never ever but got the flu the flu this year. Real bad, the kind of “ wish for death “ kinda deals. Just starting to feel better and it’s a good month later.
    The problem with the flu shot is it’s a guessing game some what. You hope W.H.O guessed right
    Included in the vaccine is maybe 3-4 strains ,so bug is another strain then you’re out of luck.
    Usually people at greatest risk 65 and up and under 5 flu shot is good, and they have % out there that will make you dizzy . ( % protection if virus changed/ unchanged)

    I have only had the flu (at least I thought it was the flu, a cold x 10 with a bad fever)twice in around 12 years. Both of those years I got the flu shot. Never again. I’ll take my chances.

    As stated earlier in this thread, the flu shot is a crap shoot. If the W.H.O. guesses wrong then the flu shot is useless. I have not had them for several years and I have not gotten sick, Not to mention my kid who is in Grade 11 and exposed to every kind of crap going around. No flu shots here anymore. We only got sick when we got the shots. If my doctor told me I had to get one I'd get a new doctor and report him to the college of physicians and surgeons. A doctor cannot force anyone to take anything.

    My opinion is that for those that are healthy, the flu shot is very debatable. Personally, I'd like to have my own immune system fight the virus.

    For those with compromised immune systems, it probably makes more sense.

    The other thing I've heard is people that get the flu shot and very shortly thereafter get sick.
