Yes, I got a Flu shot about 3 weeks ago. During my sleep last night I woke up coughing and not feeling very good. Today, I've been sneezing, coughing, running nose, which are symptoms of the common cold. Later in the day I developed a headache and now I'm running a fever and have body aches. Now those are symptoms of the Flu. Wouldn't you know it. But I did get my Flu shot.

No. I have 3 friends who experienced very bad reactions to it so I wouldn't even consider it. Things like paralysis for up to 3 weeks. Oh bet you never heard that on the news, that's right, flu shots bring big bucks!

Yes, I got mine a few weeks ago. I 've been getting one every year for about the last 8 years, and I haven't gotten the flu, so I guess I'd have to say it works.

No flu shot.... Though I did get the flu vaccine shot up both my nostrils. Not very enjoyable with my post nasal drip. It also stuffed me up for a couple of weeks....fun!

Not yet. I usually get it later so it will work for me well into April and May which is how long the flu season actually lasts.

no, i can't get past the fact that they are injecting germs into my body. i've only had the flu once in my life anyway. plus, there are different strains of the flu and the shot doesn't protect against them all.

yea. it wasnt as bad as i thought. still got the flu but it can only protect you from the most common types of the flu and there are many different kinds.

yeah of course! Genges Khan died of the flu. I took the shot so I won't need to worry about another thing that might kill me!

Yes. I'm a paramedic and I come into contact with sick people way too often to risk skipping the shot.
