    Nope.  I rely on herd immunity.  If everyone else gets their shots, I don't have to...ASSUMING the shots work for anybody, of course. :-)

    That's my argument when the vaccine nuts get on the subject of children and vaccines.  I say mine can't get sick as long as you and everyone else gets the darn shots. This post was edited by Thriftymaid at October 3, 2016 12:26 PM MDT

    That's OK.  My universal translator was able to make it out.

    That's the dirty little secret of epidemiology.  If vaccines work (and I believe most of them do), then once a population threshold is reached, herd immunity will kick in to take care of the malcontents.

    If, on the other hand, they don't work or work very poorly, you stand better odds getting the shot.

    I don't get them either.  I'm surprised and pleased to see so many others who say no to them. This post was edited by Thriftymaid at October 6, 2016 5:27 AM MDT

    Nope, and I never have.  I'm so healthy that when I donate blood or when I go to get my annual physical exam, I always mark "NKA"on the questionnaire (No Known Allergies).  It means that Mother Nature and medical science haven't found anything that can kill me.

    Thanks for your outstanding support. I will be getting my flu shot on Tuesday (October 4, 2016) when I see my primary doctor for a check up. My wife just got her. The kids are done at school.

  • No, though I may get one. I haven't gotten one in a couple years, though. And I haven't had the flu since 2007.

  • "No, not yet." ... Rare but serious side effects can occur, including allergic reactions. Symptoms of serious side effects include difficulty breathing, swelling around the eyes or lips, hives, racing heart, dizziness and high fever.
