Flu shot Is anyone getting a flu shot? Every time I get one, I get the flu really bad. The years I don't get the shot, I…

I got it, but I haven't been without one for the last 5 winters or so, I do it just in case.

I wont be getting it . Everyone i know who ever got one got really sick ! Uhhh no thanks l0l

A.doubt is a discard (a no)

IMO

You dont get the flu from the shot correct BUT it makes you sick and have side effects because the body marks it as a invader and tries to fight it off therefore some ppl get very sick from the vaccine fighting in the body

I dont get the flu shot for many reasons two of biggest its not studied long term its altered every year and bc 8yrs ago i did get it and i was very ill with flu it only covers certain strains

I am educated on it and the risks benefits as i am a nurse but i dont get it so i wont be giving it to my girls either, also if your sick stay home and rest eat well abd wash ur hands.and dont rub your face ppl always forget the simple things - keep sick ppl away from your kids and dont go to public places your more likely to catch the flu with your kids

I feel nowadays ppl get flu vaccine to save themselves from others bc so many ppl are sick in grocery stores mall etc its not like it use to be stay home sleep and get well

Do what you feel is best for you and your family only you will know what is :)

I don't plan to get the flu shot every time I get the flu shot I get sick. I was worried and worried about not getting the flu shot but my mom made it clear about why inject ourselves with medication that was never needed and isn't needed now especially during pregnancy.

Knock on wood,

I've never gotten the flu. I have never had the shot either, because it contains animal by products and I'm vegaterian/almost vegan.

I have to have it. Work in a hospital.

U will only get the flu from the shot if u haven't waited 2 weeks for it to kick in. It's a dead virus. I've always had my flu shot and haven't had the flu since I can remember.

I have never had the flu shot, not even with my first pregnancy. I declined it again this time and my doctor tried to make me feel like crap. So nice of her.

I'm not saying you get the flu from the shot! I'm saying every year I have gotten the shot I ha e gotten the flu. And it has been a worse case of the flu than when I have not gotten the vaccine. There are literally thousands of different strains of the flu, the vaccine does not even cover half of those thousand+ strains. I will not be getting the flu shot.

I got mine! Getting it while pregnant offers the baby some protection from the flu. Babies die from the flu and can't get vaccinated until later on. I've gotten the flu shot every year since I was a child and have never gotten the flu.

I won't get flu shot either. I agree with some vaccines but I think we over vaccinate! I never had a flu shot and never get sick. Plus they only guess at what strands of flu are going to be out that year and they aren't even that effective.

I'm feeling so blessed to have gotten mine but feel awful for the rest of my family who all got the flu this month since I didn't get them in soon enough.. I have been sitting here 9 months pregnant with no one to baby me since everyone is sick but me. I have been up nights from taking care of them and dont get me started on the snoring... I have two kids and my fiancé. All had coughs for over a month, fevers, extremely sore throats head aches runny and bloody noses. my daughter didn't eat for at least 3 days straight because her throat hurt so bad than got croup on top of the flu. My fiancé lost 7lbs in two weeks and still gets a bloody nose every morning. They are just starting to get a little better now but they will be getting the shot still because there's no way Im putting a newborn through that. Im also hoping my boy stays in till my date so my family has more time to get better and less chance of spreading it to him. I've never gotten sick from the shot and have gotten it almost every year its a dead virus.

I got it. Mainly because my ob said it would cover the baby from getting the flu.

My doctor wanted me to get mine this year, because of my multiple surgeries in the past my immune system is depleted. I didn't get sick, the only side effect was a sore arm

I got the flu vax and the dtap vax. I don't get the flu vax for my kids though.

It's required for my work and school (nursing)

I got mine a few weeks ago and have been perfectly fine. Getting the flu while pregnant or with a newborn around would be really bad, so I figured why not eliminate some of the risk. I've told my husband he should get one too. As pp have said, you cannot get the flu from the shot. It is not a live virus. There is a mist that does contain a live virus, but you aren't allowed to get that while pregnant anyway.

You can not get the flu from the vaccine. Unless you can get everyone else around you and the baby to get the vaccine I suggest you get it for you and the baby.

You can't get the flu from the vaccine because the virus is all killed. Sometimes you are about to get sick and get the shot, and then you proceed to get sick and it seems like the shot made you sick. I got it and no one that hasn't had it will be around my baby because the flu can kill infants. Just my opinion. My husband is a physician and completely agrees with this and also wants everyone to have the whooping cough shot. A few years ago there was an outbreak that killed several children because no one was vaccinating.

Never got one with my daughter and being pregnant with my son I was asked but turned it down. I don't feel it to be necessary.

I'm not getting one. I also get it worse when I get the shot

Im 22 and have never gotten one and i never get sick...my opinion its just putting crap into ur body that it doesnt need... Im perfectly healthy...

Same with my son
