Do You Get Annual Flu Shots?

[Karen]

I do, ever since I was hospitalized for asthma several years ago. My doctor at that time said to me "You WILL get a flu shot every year" in her sternest manner. She was smart enough to also reschedule my annual physical to be in flu shot season, so I can just get it when I go for my physical on Monday.

Every year! I wish that we had been able to get the shots a few weeks ago, then maybe my baby would not be sick and trying to cough up his lungs

Nope. Can't remember the last time I had the shot. Probably back in Jr. High.

I call my family doc 2x a week. He has yet to get more serum. I've had the flu shot since it first came out and NEVER had the flu since *KNOCK ON WOOD*

I have a physical coming up. If he doesn't have it, I'll check local pharmacies..ie: CVS

I'm allergic to the egg base that all vaccines are made with. I have never has a flu, tetnus, typhoid, typhus or cholea shot that would normally be required for international travel. I spent 6 years in Navy without having a single shot.

Our local CVS had to cancel their planned flu shots, so I got mine at
my Doc's office. I do feel bad about young parents not being able to
get their children's vaccines. (H1N1) Must be shortages all over the place.

I did get the regular flu shot early in October. The H1N1 is not available right now, for folks in my age bracket etc. I would rather the kiddies and at risk get their's first.... I'll wait.

I had both the seasonal and the H1N1 shot already, but I'm type 1 diabetic and was able to get them early.
