I get paraflu every time I take a flu vaccine and it comes back about 3 times during the winter...never had paraflu before I started getting vaccines and stopped getting when I stopped the vaccines...no more flu shots for me.

Good reason. And that's why others should be getting it for you

That's up to them.

@cherokeepatti:

It certainly is. I just hope they'll be up to protecting people like you

@UnparalleledMonster: The flu vaccine only covers the 3 most prevalent strains of flu for the season, it is not a guarantee against other strains that pop up.
