Did You Get A Flu Shot This Year?

[K9karen]

[COLOR=Indigo]Liz, I always got a flu shot. The very first time, I felt a bit ill the next day,but because there was a huge outbreak (can't remember the year), the doctor thought I had the flu anyway, but just a milder case. From that time on, I never ever had a reaction or had the flu. Knock on Wood. In 2004, my doctor was only giving them to patients 65 and older, or chronically ill. I got one for my mom, and although I home cared her, I wasn't eligible (yes, I ranted and raved!). This year, it's the same issue. A pharmacy nearby is giving them next week. I'll have to get there super early and I will. I'm hoping there's no age restriction.

No flu shot here. I should probably get one, but I never do. Some day I'll regret it, I'm sure.

I've never gotten one and won't this year either. I never get the flu anyway. I sometimes get a little cold, but never the flu. (That said I'll probably get it this year.)

Last year my boss was able to get one because she was the sole caregiver for her 88 year old mom. Her doctor (same doctor as mine) was only giving them to people who were high risk. Although she wasn't high risk he didn't want her to get sick because she has to care for her mom, so he gave her one. That stinks that you weren't able to get one.
