I did today and my arm is still sore... I just hope I don't get the flu... hee hee I hope the doctors who decided which flu to use got the right ones for this year...
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.

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.

no, i havent had a shot in yrs and the sore arm is why, i dont get the flu ever so i dont see a need to get my arm sore, the only time i might get one is if someone wanted to hire me to work with the elderly then that might be a requirement or if i was working with kids otherwize i dont bother,
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.
