Have you caught it? Have you gotten a shot? I really don't like flu shots, I believe that if you get them and everyone does, it just makes the next flu strain more powerful until there is one we cannot defeat. Gotta be natural bros!
Last time I got the flu shot I was 18 and guess what? I got sick that year. After that I never took a flu shot. 26 now. Have only had it two or three times since then. I don’t trust the flu shot and it hasn’t given me any actual evidence to suggest it helps prevent the flu. Honestly just gotta keep a strong immune system. If you’re healthy you are fine.
I have a sinus infection but never really had flu symptoms past the first day when I was aching...I don't get flu shots...my wife got a flu shot last year and she was sick for a week after the shot....sort of neutralized the idea that it helps in my book...lots of fluids and sleep seem to work best for me....
No shot no flu. Never got shot. Even when i worked at hospital i had to get a religious exemption just to avoid it. Ive had flu maybe 3 times in the last 12 years.
Required to get the shot every year. Couple years had to do the "live sniff". Hit-and-miss, because I travel so much. I haven't been "laid low" in a long time, but it seems every couple of years I'll have a crappy week or so.
That actually makes no sense and you have it completely backwards. Being a "bubble boy" does not give you a stronger immune system. How does the flu shot work? ANSWER The shots prompt your body to get ready to fight an infection from the flu virus. It helps you create tools, called antibodies, to fight the virus when you're exposed to it. Doctors tweak the vaccine each season. They choose strains based on the ones they think are most likely to show up that year. The vaccine itself doesn't cause the flu. But it does take about two weeks to start working. Some people get it, then catch the virus before their body is ready to fight it. It's human nature to see a link between the two events, but the flu shot cannot cause the flu or make you more likely to get it. They don't work all the time. You can get sick even if you get one, but your illness will likely be milder than if you skip the vaccine. https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/qa/how-does-the-flu-shot-work
I'm just getting over one of the multiple strains this year. It's actually the first time I've got the flu since... idk forever? Last time I remember getting the flu I was in elementary school. Never get the shot either. Prolly just lucky, but I do religiously wash my hands and avoid touching my face.
I get a flu shot every year. I also got the flu just before Christmas. It was bad but I believe it would have been worse had I not had the shot.
I've been getting the shots and not getting the flu. Dunno, there may be something to this "science" stuff after all. barfo
You've gotten the flu 3-4 times in the last 7-8 years?! I suggest you try washing your hands more often.
