Yes, I am getting one since I've been sick a lot in the past couple of months and I work in school.

No, I am not a fan of flu shots for a variety of reasons.

Nope- I do not think its wise. We seem to be doing okay if we just watch the weather and keep our hands clean.

We're choosing not to for a couple of reasons. First of all, they can't match the strain exactly, they're just 'making an educated guess' based on the previous year's strain. Secondly, one year I was able to get one child a shot but not the second. The one who got the shot had the worst case of flu ever that year but no one else in the family got sick..that made me realize the shot probably isn't all it's made out to be!

I didn't get the shot last year and I don't remember being that sick.
