Never got the shot ,never had the flu.

Answer

The stupidity on this post is mind boggling 🤦🏻‍♀️ 
 
1. The flu shot WILL NOT make you sick...I repeat the flu shot does NOT contain a live virus or anything that will make you ill unless you are allergic. 
2. Getting the flu shot will not 100% protect you from getting the flu however it is PROVEN to reduce severity of symptoms and the length of time you can be ill. 
3. The flu virus just like any other bacteria or organism will mutate and change over time however being protected from several knows strains greatly reduces the risk of contracting the flu. 
4. The flu kills people, old people, young people, middle aged people, healthy people etc!!! The flu outbreak this year has been upgraded to an epidemic due to the high number of deaths already reported. 98% of the deaths reported have been in individuals who did not receive a flu vaccine. 
5. Influenza is not just a cold or something to not be taken seriously. Untreated influenza can lead to organ failure, cardiac arrest, septicemia and pneumonia. 
Please get a flu shot if you haven’t. It is seriously truly worth it! If anyone wants to argue with my response please visit CDC.gov to read these statistics and responses for yourself!

Answer

Specifically this year it is pointless. Everyone at my work got theirs at a free clinic in the building and got a different strain anyways.
I never get it anymore. I had a terrible terrible reaction to it in my teens.

Answer

Against. Never had it, never will, especially while pregnant.

Answer

Never seen the point in getting one honestly. Never had one. You can still get the flu even if you get the shot so never bothered to get it.

Answer

Young kids, the elderly, anyone with a compromised immune system (if they can be vaccinated) and anyone that works/in regular close contact with those people (doctors, nurses, teachers, etc) should get it. Because it is a line of defense. Sadly it doesn’t always work because the influenza virus changes so much it’s very hard to predict the strain. I haven’t had it since childhood and won’t until I have kids and they’ll need the extra protection.

Answer

Against it

Answer

For the young and the elderly .. but personally I will not get it.

Answer

Honestly I didn’t get it but I suggest getting it. My daughter ended up with influenza A and because I’m pregnant and didn’t get the flu shot I am the one on medicine
