I got mine Monday 🙂

My new PC called and asked if I wanted a Flu Shot, well sure. And the "MMRV"too I said, No problem. I go in Next week when I want to. Usually I get mine earlier. But since they keep refining the "mix" to the changes I now kinda wait until the 11th hour.

I haven't yet. I plan to get it soon though. Never have taken the flu shot but my dr is really pushing it.

I get a flu shot each year, however, this year was a killer and I got the flu after spending time in hospital with pneumonia. Oh, yes, I got a pneumonia shot also, I'm hoping I don't get either one again. Don't know if the shots hinder the illness, but get them anyway. In case.

Yes I got mine done. The local pharmacy have me down on their awkward patients list & never let me away with it 😂

Done and dusted on the 11th October (that's nhs uk). Only had flu once in the past and never want to repeat the experience. The nurse who did mine said it is predicted to be a very bad flu season this year. Advise for even if you don't qualify pay for the jab.

Got my flu shot a week ago, and 2 days later got an upper respiratory infection. Felt like the flu. Fever, chills, cough, etc.. now on steroids and antibiotics. I think the flu jab brought on the URI.
