Do You Get Annual Flu Shots?

[Queen of Poop]

I get the regular flu shot every year. I was doing it because his daughter has asthma and I wanted to protect her. I will get my shot here at work today because with all that is going on, not sleeping well, not eating well, I feel I am at high risk to catch the next bug that goes by. I am also taking mass transit to work these days so am exposed to many more people in a day so figure better safe than sorry right now.

I just had a change of heart this week.....we were determined not to get the h1n1 (we don't usuallly get the annual flu shot either).

BUT, we have an h1n1 outbreak in our Church , and I am 10 weeks pregnant. I can't get vax'd until December 11, but DH got his last night, and Lydia will get her's tomorrow...so hopefully with both of them covered it will cut down on the risk of bringing it into the house. In the meanwhile, I am staying very close to home...not even going shopping.....and will stay at home until the outbreak is over (all of our friends are sick).

I think that's a wise decision. IMHO. Why take the chance if you don't have to?

I am not in the select group they are targeting either. I just got the
shot for the regular flu.
