Couldn't even if I wanted too. Any vaccine can trigger a chronic disorder I have. A tetanus vaccine landed my butt in the trauma section in the ER getting transfusions and I had a good chance of dying. Thankfully I didn't.

Never have, never will. I've never gotten the flu and I don't feel it's a necessary vaccine. That's my opinion.

Nope, I didn't. I normally get really sick for at least a week or 2 after getting a flu shot... I don't think it's worth it to get flu shot so I can get flu right now for exchange of possibilities of avoiding flu in the future.

My wife does because she works at a school - I've never had one and I haven't had the flu for over 10 years.

I get one for free every year and I have three little kids. Sooner or later I'm going to catch something. Might as well try to avoid as much as I can.

I never get a flu shot. My parents opted not to vaccinate me as a baby. The only things I ever got shots for were hepatitis because I felt it necessary working in a medical building, and HPV.

No. Allergy to eggs and shellfish. Also my husband has gotten the shot the past 3 years and for the past 3 years he has gotten sick. I haven't gotten the flu in 14 years.

I have never had it and probably won't ever get it. I haven't ever had the flu and since getting my tonsils out I don't get sick. I have been sick once in the past 3 years

No, but I started getting one when we had an infant living here, but now she's older and I know the truth about vaccines, so no, I totally refused it. Guess what? My dad, my mom, my neice, my sister & my grandmother all had the flu from Christmas week up until last Sunday! My dad's just went away last Sunday and I've been around them all very, very much. I prepared myself this year as I did have the flu once and it was 2 Christmas' ago (misery!) so as soon as the first person in my family got it (my 3 year old neice) I began taking garlic cloves. I just chop one clove in half and swallow like a pill since it's easier for me than putting it in food. I done that about twice a week and also got some Kefir, took a little wheatgrass and chia seed as well as multi-vitamin daily and here we are. Neither I nor my partner got it! We both did the same garlic and kefir and wheatgrass and vitamin diet. I had been on the hunt for some raw, real honey since there's an ingredient in it that actually kills the influenza germ, but could not find anyone selling in my area.

I highly recommend doing some research into how you can truly prevent the flu with all natural methods (I know I sound like a whack job.) I would have never believed it until I tried myself! Not only does it prevent the flu, you gain life changing health benefits from these things. Okay, whack job, I know I know, but it's worth taking a look into.

Why no flu shot for me anymore? Because of how dangerous it is. You know where I'm going with this... lOl.

i personally did not. never have and never will get a flu shot. and guess what? ive never had the flu! i dont think the efficacy rates are good enough, and i dont think there is enough testing done each year prior to distributing them.

My work offers it but I've never taken it. I don't find it necessary. People should learn to wash their hands properly and more often...
