    The other thing I've heard is people that get the flu shot and very shortly thereafter get sick.
    Like you mean naturally exposed -instead of immune system being jump started to fight something.

    Not uncommon/ unheard of getting sick after- being injected with 3/4 weakened strains of influenza

    Hadn’t done the flu shot for the past 15 years until my wife made me get them the last couple years when our daughter was born. Have had the flu twice over that time span neither of which was in the last 2 years. So I have no idea if it works but happy wife, happy life I know works for sure lol.

    If your Doctor suggests a course of treatment follow it, unless of course you are a Doctor with your own opinion.

    I have done it for many years without any issues but didn't do it this year. My doctor told me that I should have done it in late November to make it effective. Because I had a cold she could not give me the shot.

    hahaha - I always carry a roll of electrical tape, that's pretty much sums up my first aid kit
