    True, there is no live virus in the flu shot - there is a weak live virus present in the nasal mist vaccine, which is why the mist is contraindicted for high risk individuals.
    I didn't get my flu shot this year - my workplace provides it free of charge each year, but I was not working at the time. I usually get it because I have asthma, it just seems like a good precaution.
    So now I am at home with the flu Maybe I would have gotten it anyway, due to different strains, etc., but damn do I feel shitty right now, and I can't afford the time off work, but I'm too sick to even care.

    Get Well Adina!!

    Be aware that the inhaled version of the flu vaccine is different from the shot-it is from live virii. That is why it is not reccomended for the real young or old, or those who are pregnant.

    On the positive side, when I get back to work I plan to use that as an excuse when guys try to slobber all over me. NO doesn't always work but paired with a, the flu's going around... somtimes they need a reason.

    I got my flu shot and I didn't get sick afterwards. My brother didn't get one and he caught the flu and I didn't ha ha ha little bro
    Ha Ha Bella, thats creative I'm LMAO at your new Customer Away system.

    Other Things you might want to try also:

    Tell them you have Anti Biotic Resistant Tuberculosis, then add a dry hacking cough.

    Tell them that your BF just caught the crabs, then start scratching your crotch, and complaining about the itch. I garuntee no customer will want to touch you....

    Hopefully your brother will get a flu shot next year after learning his lesson.

    ROFLMAO

    Heeeyyy, what are you trying to do to me? Make me LOSE money?

    The flu vaccination shots they are issuing now are for last years flu. The current flu is a different strain. They started the vaccination program way to late to stem the epidemic.
    Most of those who are vaccinated are in a false sense of security unless it's last years strain.
    Pamela, is there another Dreamer around? I didn't creat a post before this one.

    For the glass half full crowd who want to look at the bright side. Go to http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/
    click on View Sentinel Providers Regional Charts
    (about half way down the page right above
    Influenza Activity as Assessed by State and Territorial Epidemiologists**

    When the map pops up click on the Mountain states and West South central and you will see that the spred in these regions where the disease hit hard first has pretty clearly passed its peak in those regions and is waning. Other area are still getting worse so the national numbers do not look good at all, but things are getting better in the western middle of the country. At least its not getting worse there but remember all contagious disease is local.
