It's a little known fact that the flu vaccine is really just an attempt by the Crystal People to ////*///|#transmission interrupted#|\\\\\*\\\

And so, you see, that's really the skinny on it all.

I haven't gotten so much as a cold in nearly 2 years, and I eat lots of vegerbles. I'm not worried.

Yeah, I got one. First time in many, many years. In fact, the last time I had a flu shot was when I was in the military and they were mandatory. I got the shot because my cardiologist recommended it because I can't take over-the-counter stuff for flu symptoms. Then, after I take the stupid shot they tell us it's not very effective against the most dangerous strain that's going around this year anyway. :x

I have my Vitamin C, Echinacea/Goldenseal, and Oscillococcinum... I don't need a silly vaccine that doesn't work anyway. :-P

I've never had a 'flu shot before, and only had the flu 2-3 times in 42 years. But I now have pneumonia, presumably brought on by the 'flu. I'm never not getting a shot again.

I have had a flu shot for the last three years.

I have not missed a day of work due to illness for the last four years.

This year it is worth $400 bonus to me.

Yup, got my flu shot again this year. Wash my hands aplenty too. No shotgun for intruders though.

I get one every year at work. Some years they do the job, some they don't, but it's worth it anyways. I can't afford to be sick and take care of the family too!

Sorry peteinmn, but you are most assuredly NOT in the "Great White North"

That of course is the nickname for Canada.
Last I checked Minnesota hadn't become one of our new provinces/territories.

But, I suppose it would fit right in with Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and maybe even most of Ontario.

Anyway, yesterday was fun. Snow everywhere, and for a wonderful 8 km there was even blizzard conditions. Later on, it even got bad where I live, instead of just the highway.

Ahhh, I LOVE Canada :sniffle:
