2010 Flu Shot

Tell any mom with several kids to just go to bed and sleep it off and be prepared to have a pan whizzing by your head. If someone has responsibilities the flu is no fun!

LOL ehhh they can fend for themselves

I have had to work while having flu, In the IT business world men aren't allowed to call in sick unless they are on their deathbed.

I'm all about taking the flu shot. I might get a bug come winter, but I have never had the influnenza.

I will be getting my flu shot when I get some wheels back! I had the flu in the early 70s and was really sick, have had a flu shot since. Where I worked held a flu shot clinic every year trying to reduce absences from work. Trust me, they weren't very happy with those who got sick after refusing the shot.

Never had the shot, never will....no way, no god-dang way! Neither will my kids, or my wife.

I wish you good health. If you had taken as many deathly ill influenza cases to the hospital over the years as I have you might not be so positive. The worst off are the very young and the very old. Some people have problems when their resistance drops to other things while they have the flu and they get sick or die of secondary infections. Some people have very strong natural immunity to influenza and wouldn't get it if they drank a glassful of the bug.

I had to go by the hospital to pick up some meds and it was a beautiful day, and there was hardly anyone at the tents they had set up for flu shots, so I got mine. In and out in five minutes----that is taken care of now. I never used to get them til I got older and then my doctor insisted on it. Now that I am on 02, with not-so-good lungs, I take every precaution.

I took them when I taught, but haven't since opened the daycare 5 years ago. Not to say that I might not get in and take it, I am planning on it. I have had such problems with my allergies and sinues this past 6 months, that I broke down and went to doctor and got a shot to help me with them yesterday. So I am thinking that I better get one as soon as I clear up from this bought of crud that I have had. I can't be sick, to many people depend on me, my 3 kids and husband. LOL

I don't know but maybe the reason people in general get sick is because of their lifestyle. Not enough red meat, fried foods, or exercise. People just don't work anymore, unless sitting behind a desk all day is considered work (and unfortunately it is).

Here is silly question. Why do some people call the flu shot a "them" rather than a "it." It is just one shot. Do you call your drivers license a " them" or an "it." I remember when I was in high school the Kennett kids getting excited about going to get "them" if they passed their test. I was a country kid.To me it was an" it."
