Becky, I'm with you! NO THANK YOU! I've heard way too many stories of people who got SO sick after the shot that I'm not willing to even test it! I had the flu once or twice. It's not fun but why risk getting the shot then getting the flu from the shot. I think everyone that is supposed to get it should. Healthcare workers, babies, elderly, pregnant people (however, both times I was pregnant I didn't get one!) My mom tried it twice. She reacted for 1 or two days with bad flu symptoms and is still not willing to try it again. It's funny how controversial this sort of thing is. I say just let your body fight it the natural way. The people who have died of the flu had underlying other problems and I think were mainly elderly. Ok, so I guess when I'm 65, hey what the heck maybe I'll have a different outlook but until then, cross fingers in the sign of the cross as to scare away vampires but instead it's at the flu shot!
