++--~~>Flu-shot Check<~~--++

Did you get a flu-shot or plan to get one? I got one this year, forget if I got one last year. I think I missed a couple of years before that. I don't get flu, really don't get colds either, but it was doctor recommended.

My partners and I get flu shots for our entire staff every year for roughly the past 10 years. With the all the people we are in close contact with on a daily basis at our office, it is a wise investment for te protection of both our staff and our patients. I will likely end up regretting saying this, but I can't recall the last time I had the flu.

Got mine ages ago. Moms can't afford to get the flu.

I got my shot in early September, right after this year's flu vaccine became available. I consider that ages ago for a seasonal vaccine.

Not yet, but I will ask my doctor for one. I have an appointment later this month. Later

Got mine shortly after Labor Day. I get it every year. I had the flu in 1996 and it was a miserable week. I was afraid to get anywhere near my infant son and spent the week in quarantine in the guest room. I've had a flu shot every year since then.

Got mine! It the early fall, there's a health and wellness event on the State Capitol lawn and folks from one of the state universities are on hand to provide free flu shots. I've had the shots for the last three years.

My mom's doctor told her to wait until October so it wouldn't run out before flu season is over. I got my first one last year and got three 'sinus infections' last winter. Spent all winter on antibiotics. Talk about over pr escribing Still up in the air about this year unless my daughter insists

Company gives them for free so I'm up to date.

Ceetar Nov 14 2016 04:40 PM Re: ++--~~>Flu-shot Check<~~--++

needed to pick up a prescription for my wife and the insurance was out of date so they gave me one while I waited. It's never really been a priority for me since I don't get the flu anyway (though I had the sniffles when I got this one) need to schedule Ceetarette for one. keep forgetting. Oh, and remind the wife to get one, for whatever in-utero protection that offers. edit: okay, taking her tomorrow at 2.

I get one every year. The last time I had the flu, I vowed never to go without again. The give them at work, and most of the pharmacies in the area have them. Health insurance covers them.
