Every year without fail.

True that the annual Flu vaccine isn't a 100% guarentee that you won't get influenza if exposed, but it cannot "Give" you the Flu and it dramatically improves your odds of avoiding a miserable week or even worse.

I had the Flu in Dec '92 and it sucked. Besides, I get sneezed and hacked on for a living.

Lean in to the needle!

Not so sure about that. Every time I have taken the shot I have gotten the flu. Maybe they have made improvements in the last decade but I have no desire to find out.

You shouldn't need the shot if you are not immune compromised, way old or really young. Try taking 3000 of C daily as well as 5000 of D. I have to deal with truck stops and rest areas in multiple states. hand sanitizer is my friend...

I get a flu shot every year. Don't know how much it helps but I haven't missed a day of work for illness in over 5 years.

My wife has been sick with the crud for over a week. 2 visits to the doctor. We will see if this last visit gives her any relief.

I figure if you all do not understand by now, you never will.

To each their own. However if you keep getting those shots, your cancer chances go thru the roof, along with Alzhimers, and other deadly and debilitating diseases.
