It's not too late to get your vaccinations for this season, and Oklahoma is having a high outbreak of it.
Apparently people think the vaccinations don't work or some bull hockey.

How do they create an effective vaccination for a virus that is constantly changing? By they time a vaccine has been synthesized and distributed hasn't the virus already mutated? Otherwise people who have been vaccinated would not get the flu.

I did not say that the shot gives me the flu, I said I get it every time I take the shot. I do not know why but I do, so I stopped taking the shot. End of story.

Might want to recheck your logic. Are you having a reaction TO the shot for a few days after?

I get the full blown flu anywhere from a few days to a month after and it happened every year that I took that stupid shot. I can deal with the rare case of the flu just fine. Every year is just dumb.

Exactly!. I'm not a flu expert in any way, shape or form. But I know that the shot you get this year is last years strain of influenza. It can not help you this year, except to protect against last years bug. IMO, hand washing is more effective than flu vaccines.
