Are all flu shots available now the same? Does it matter if I go to my doctor to get one or I get it from the pharmacy or anywhere else? I have been told I should get one.

Generally a doctor's office charges more than a pharmacy. There is no difference in the flu shot. It is standardized amongst the several manufacturers. I got my flu shot at a Walgreens for $25.
Your county clinic might give free flu shots. I know my county gives it free to those over 60.

I'd say go to your Dr. Don't get it at the pharmacy and administer yourself, would you know where to do it at? Some places offer it for free, like the American Red Cross. Some people don't like the flu shot though cause it gives some people the flu. Go figure?!?!?

I think as long as you don't get it at a flea market, it's safe..lol JK.
seriously, it'd be super safe if you'd go to your doctor.

As long as you receive it in the US it should be fine..There are standard regulations here.
