NYB- I'm getting one tomorrow, I was just curious about pre and post DSers, whether or not they get them and why.

I'm in your camp. I don't get them either, even though we get them free.

Got the flu in the late 90's and never want it again. I realize some strains aren't covered by the shots BUT I'd rather get the shot than the flu. My DS has not influenced my decision to get them; that episode of the flu convinced me.

is not fun nor is

nor

being too weak to get out of bed.

As a teacher and an asthmatic (whose symptoms have improved DRAMATICALLY since moving to the boonies, away from a coal powered electric plant) I get a flu shot every year.

I work in the medical field. It is in my best interest, and the interest of my family to take available precautions. I get a flu shot every year :)

I always get a flu shot, asthmatics and COPD sufferers in my family so we have all been pretty diligent about getting our shots to avoid infecting the vulnerable. I have always worked with kids and as such Flu was an occupational hazard!!lol

Flu is no fun at all so if I can do anyting to avoid it I will!!

Revision on 12/15/10

I've always worked in health are and always gotten a flu shot. In recent years, before my DS revision, I was terrified to get the flu because of my age and comorbidities.

I plan to continue getting it and believe others should too.

Yup, I always get the flu shot. I live in the most densely populated state in the nation, cradle of epidemics :-p. I consider it not only protection for me but a kind of civic duty.
