Do You Get Annual Flu Shots?

[*LabLoverKEB*]

I got my flu shot in early September....not too sure about the H1N1 vaccine, though...

I got my flu shot for this year.

I never used to get the flu shot but since having Hannah I have gotten it every year... not yet this year though so we need to schedule it with the doctor. Hannah can't get the flu shot herself so we get it ourselves to minimize the chances of bringing it home

No.

And I don't plan on getting one.

I've been getting the regular flu shots every year for many years now. I got mine in early Oct. when Kaiser first started their clinic. I always try to get mine as early as possible so that they don't run out. I doubt I'll be getting the H1N1 though because in my age group I'd either have to be pregnant or have some other complication like asthma or diabetes which I don't.

I got the regular flu shot early October and was slated to get the swine flu one today. However because I am on a course of steroids & antibiotics I can't have it until they are finished. Hopefully they will have a new batch of the shots in before the end of the month and I can get it then.

I have a compromised immune system because of the steroids so I'm staying home and refusing visitors. It's a bit scary to think that that combined with my lung disease means catching any old virus that's lurking about could literally send me off this mortal coil.

I get the seasonal flu shot every year and had mine last week. I will not be getting the H1N1. My doc is only giving them if a patient insists, since he feels at this point, there are too many unknowns about it.

I got the seasonal flu shot. Still waiting for a shipment of H1N1.
