I am not totally against them but if you have immune issues, I would say dont
Re: Flu shots your opinion??
i always found it strange how some people are strongly opposed to them while your doctor in strongly in favor. i don't get them regularly and don't make it a point to seek out an opportunity but if i happen to make a dr. appointment and they offer one i'll take it. i can't say i've ever felt like i avoided any illnesses because i got a flu shot that's why i don't value them too highly.
Re: Flu shots your opinion??
Theres no point in it even if they work, because viruses mutate every year into a new strain and you can just catch the one they havent made a vaccine for.
Re: Flu shots your opinion??
another thing is the vaccine doesn't protect for a real long duration anyway
Re: Flu shots your opinion??
I have not had one in ten years I don't belive in them
Re: Flu shots your opinion??
I say no. Too risky imo. Ive never had one and I try and boost my immune system with other things
Re: Flu shots your opinion??
they say that is a dead virus one and 2 it only protects against one strain. i have had the inj as well as the nasal goop crap and every single freaking time i get one i am sick as a dog the following day for weeks. so since i am no longer required to take one, my big ass wont be
Re: Flu shots your opinion??
We were forced to do them in Boot camp. It was stupid. I never got too sick before for my entire life. Did the flu shot and got sick. So in order to not get sick, they make you sick.....so you don't get sick. Makes fuckin sense. Jack offs. They push it at the VA and i decline. Haven't been sick since.
Re: Flu shots your opinion??
I had to when working in the hospital bubut don't any more. Got a buddy who got one and ended up in the hospital for a month. Still is messed up today..
Re: Flu shots your opinion??
lol When it is time to have shots for flu my doctor just comes in with the shots without even asking me anymore lol.
Re: Flu shots your opinion??
Thank guys those were my thoughts exactly... I'm not gonna stop my kids and wife from getting them just for the fact if something did happen to one of them I'd have to live with that. So I just hope it at the least protects them from the flue and doesn't cause extra harm.
Re: Flu shots your opinion??
Haven't had one in many, many years and don't plan on getting one either. Seems like everyone I know who gets a flu shot... gets the flu.
Re: Flu shots your opinion??
^^^^ exactly. I'm not getting one and I think I'm gonna tell my wife I don't want my 16 month old getting one
