Consensus on flu shot?

[MakeNTGreatAgain]

i havent gotten one in years but my company sent an email that they providing with shots this year.

Yall getting shots?
Or is there no point in getting the shot

So many different opinions that it puts me off from it.

Never had it. Don't really see the point when I know some folks who had it and didn't end up getting the flu of course but had some nasty flu-like symptoms (nausea, fever, ...) from the shot itself. That's just an anecdote though, I don't know how common such side effects from the shot itself actually are.

I essentially have to get the flu shot because I work in healthcare. If I don't, I'm forced to wear a mask for the entire flu season.

I get the flu shot because I feel it's important that I do my part to keep myself safe as well as the individuals I care for. There are a few people that work with me that wear the mask, but none of them are particularly bright individuals and they don't exactly have the best reasons for refusing to get the shot. One thing I've noticed is that I've never seen a doctor wearing a mask during flu season.

If you have an egg allergy, a history of Guillain-Barre Syndrome, or a history of serious adverse reactions to vaccines, then by all means don't get the flu shot. If you don't fall into those categories, your reasons for why you shouldn't get it probably aren't all that good.

If you're young and never get sick, and you're not around kids or at risk people (elderly, cancer patients), you probably don't need one.

If they're lining up people at work for flu shots and you're not there, you're gonna get the stank eye.

Talk about " throwing it back " right fellas, right?........










Anyway. Against it. I always get sick for days. If I stay healthy hit the gym wash my hands and face I'll
Be good.

Never got a shot and don't care to. Anytime I've gotten the flu it clears up within a week. I can "work from home" when I'm sick.

 

[deusavertat]

Get one every year, haven't grown extra ears yet. I also work in a hospital so I have no real choice in the matter.

 

[yeah]

I never get it because I always experience "flu-like symptoms" for weeks at a time.

I'd rather just get the real flu instead of having to get a shot and "experiencing" the flu anyway.

 

[hipstermike]

If you are elderly or will be around kids alot, you should get one

If you are in good health and exercise and not really prone to sickness, up to you

I've passed a few years cause I'm not around kids and I'm pretty healthy

 

[D Fly]

I pretty much never get the flu, so I never felt the need for it.

If you're young and healthy a Flu shot is unnecessary imo. I think it should be reserved for the sick, immunocompromised, elderly, health workers and like someone mentioned above people who are around children eg. teachers.

 

[360waves]

Havent had one in years. Exercise, eat healthy, drink plenty of water and carry hand sanitizer and you'll be alright.

 

[deleted]

The lady from Singled Out said I shouldn't get one so I'm good

 

[Barbados Slim]

I get them. Can't remember the last time I had the flu.

I catch a cold couple times a year but that's it. *shrugs

 

[shogun]

Might get one this year. Didn't know some people experienced flu-like symptoms for a week.

Got the fu last year and felt awful for a week.
