    Search I got Flu shot, will U?

    Years ago, a neighbor told me her son in law died, age 50, from complications due to the flu.

    I myself have been in the emergency room (also years ago) w/symptoms, extreme nausea..I had IV's.

    Last year, current neighbor was very sick, (he worked in a store).

    We thought he might have the latest virus, he was tested negative.
    He was very sick tho, for a month.

    Just wondering if y'all are planning to get it.

    I haven't decided yet. I work from home and now (due to Covid 19) I come into contact with even less people than I used to. Flu shots generally make me pretty ill for about a week. (I know, I know, it's not "supposed" to happen, but it seems to with me) I am still trying to decide.

    i don't normally get one but this year I will.

    On the chance that I get a serious case of flu and Covid spikes this winter, I don't want to be dealing with crowded doctors offices trying to get a tamiflu prescription or worse, at any crowded hospital for any reason.

    Same.

    If I don't work with the public as much as previously 0 otherwise I would. And I on the fence because that one time I got it I ended up getting ill shortly thereafter.

    I may go with the flu mist vaccine.

    I work in healthcare so I have to get one every year. I’ll likely get a covid vaccine sooner than the general population as well, for better or worse. In a way it’s nice that the choice is made for me and I don’t have to spend time mulling over the risks/benefits.

    Australia’s flu season just ended and it was far lower than normal due to masks and social distancing. I predict the same thing will happen here, at least in parts of the country where those practices are widespread.

    Already got mine. It took less than 10 minutes at Walgreens, my Obamacare health care covered the cost, and I didn't need an appointment.

    Thanks for replies!

    The food store (chain) I got mine @, gave me 10% discount on my next grocery buy
    Walgreens gives rewards points.

    Honesty, she jabbed mebut ok.)
    I felt slightly ill yesterday, but fine today .

    It takes 2 week for it to take effect, it's still possible to get flu in that time.
    Like I said to a friend, better than getting the flu.
