Flu Shot?
Do you guys get your flu shot each year? Are you getting one this year?
I always did when I was in college and while I worked at my previous job since it was convenient and free. Since then, I haven't been getting them. My mom is really urging me to do it since I will be traveling. DH doesn't think it's a good idea.
Re: Flu Shot?
Why doesn't your husband think it's a good idea?
I have to get a flu shot every year because I am in the high risk category. I've had the flu before and it was horrible. That taught me a lesson for sure.
I get a flu shot every year and have never had any side effects or gotten the flu. I used to teach, so I was around kids and their germs. Now I'm in close quarters with adults and their germs!!! Plus, my mom takes humira, which decreases immune system effectiveness, so her doc rec'd that all of us continue to get one to lesson the chance we pass something on to her.
This year, I am going to try and get just the regular flu shot, not the combo one with swine flu. My friend that is a pharmacist recommended waiting until late Oct/early Nov to get it b/c if you get it earlier, it might not be as effective in the spring. I'll probably wait til then.
I would def get it if you'll be doing lots of plane travel. Is there a particular reason that DH doesn't want you to get it?
DH and I get ours for free from work too.
I had the flu so bad when I was ~9 that it dehydrated me and I remember having to go to the hospital for fluids. Loads of fun times.

I just went to a conference (health care) and one of the main topics was the flu shot. Fun times!
We are "strongly encouraged" to obtain our free flu shots here at work, but eh, I usually don't.
