I haven't gotten a flu shot since 1998. If I get the shot, I am fevered and achy for 3-4 days. If I get the flu, I am fevered and achy for 3-4 days, but I don't get the flu every year. Maybe once every 5 years. As I get older I will consider getting the flu shot.

My friend Donna just had one, and immediately came down with a honking big case of the stomach flu. She was sick for days...and I was working with her IN the kitchen when she casually mentioned...that she was STILL SICK. I just love that...NOT.

@4meAndyou That class I was in last Thursday. One of the women emailed everyone that she was feeling sick and tested positive for covid. โ˜น Fortunately I feel fine.

CVS keeps asking me if I want one every time I pick up meds. I should say yes and get it so they stop asking!

And to not get the flu or spread it, of course.
Musicman ยท 61-69, M
@JoyfulSilence Good deal. ๐Ÿ™‚

Never had a flu shot, never had the flu.
Gibbon ยท 70-79, M
Nope. Had the senior high octane one twice 4 & 5 years ago. Both made me sick as a dog.
Nope, nope, nope, no more for me.
Gibbon ยท 70-79, M
@Musicman no more shots of that type period, especially COVID,. Even though I went to the hospital last October a year ago with pneumonia and a blood infection, I refused the pneumonia shot too. Plus I don't understand if I wanted it. Why the hell I can't get into my doctor's office. You tell me what kind of sense that makes. I can get a flu shot in my doctor's office. I can get a tetanus shot in my doctor's office. I can get a shingle shot in my doctor's office. I can't get a COVID shot or a pneumonia shot. What kind of logic is this? The one COVID shot I did get the first go-around I picked the J&J regardless of the issues because it was developed the old-fashioned way and my pharmacist gave it to me.
Musicman ยท 61-69, M
@Gibbon We did the first and second covid shot. We went with Moderma. After the second shot my wife developed a rash over most of her body. She has also had two kidney surgeries, uterine cancer, a complete hysterectomy and radiation. Did the vaccine have anything to do with it. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚
Gibbon ยท 70-79, M
@Musicman The sad fact is. Even if it did, you won't find anybody to admit it. They have $$$ to protect.
Already got mine

@Chern0bylplaygr0unds Excellent! ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ

Nope, I don't do shots.
Musicman ยท 61-69, M
@AbbeyRhode I didn't use to either. Then I became pre diabetic. Now I have to take an injection every other week. It took 9 months before I could actually give it to myself.
TexChik ยท F
Nope. The docs here don't take them, they are less than 4% effective and its good old Pfizer and Moderna, the creeps that tried to kill us with the Covid vax.

I donโ€™t take flu shots. I got them 3 times back when I was in my 30โ€™s. I would have paraflu each time, not only once during the winter but 3 times. Paraflu lasts 2 weeks with followed by 2 weeks of fatigue. A few years later a primary care doctor asked me if I had gotten my flu shot. I told him about the paraflu and that it happened each time after a flu shot. He shook his head and remarked โ€œI canโ€™t take them eitherโ€. No medical person ever warned me about paraflu. But they would continue to push the flu shots.
FreddieUK ยท 70-79, M
Already had it...absolutely no bad reaction.
Musicman ยท 61-69, M
@FreddieUK I have never had a reaction from one either.

Nope! I refuse!
FreddieUK ยท 70-79, M
@WillaKissing Are there non-manmade vaccines?
WillaKissing ยท 61-69, M
@FreddieUK I am sorry must be literal for the Europeans! Okay, ZERO vaccines! Do you feel better about that?
