Flu vaccine

[uppityperson]

All this discussion about virus transmission and diseases reminded me that it is time to get this year's flu shot and that insurance under the ACA should cover it!

Avoid getting the flu and freaking out that your aches, pains, fever are ebola. As well as having to deal with being very sick or dying from a relatively preventable disease.

Get your vaccine soon and remember, if you do catch the flu, influenza, please stay home until you are better to avoid spreading it to other people. Wash your hands, and don't touch your eyes or nose with unwashed hands.

1. Yup! Get your vaccine, folks. R&K nt

2. I'm waiting for cooler weather. Don't ask why...

it just seems right. I also am holding off a little to see if there are any problems with the first wave of shots. One year, I jumped the gun and had to get two since something was left out of the first batch.

I swear by them and never miss a year without getting my flu shot.

6. Autumn struck here this last week, I know what you mean about waiting for the weather

When it gets cooler, people tend to stay more onside, around each other, passing viruses around, so it is a good reminder.

4. Flu, what's that?

[uppityperson]

14. That is the sound of people hacking and coughing. "Oh, it's just bronchitis"? And the aftermath of

having influenza. As opposed to affluenza.

5. I never get the flu so I don't need one........

Waiting for a few posters to make this totally idiotic statement!

I get one every October!

9. Multiple coworkers made that same assertion

Along with one who refused because, you know, vaccines contain mercury.

10. Wow, some people scare me! Nt

[uppityperson]

11. I got mine this morning and feel autism coming on.

People scare me too.

[bunnies]

18. Ive never had "the flu" and Ive never had the vaccine.

Ive also never had chicken pox. Your wait is over.

[Logical]

20. LOL, I imagine science is not your strong suit! nt

[bunnies]

21. Condescension. What else would I expect. nt

7. My company is covering it for free insurance or not.

Guess they want us to be at work

12. Good for your company. It is worth the small cost to keep your workers healthy and on the job.

8. Got it yesterday

shoulder is still sore from the shot this morning.

[winter is coming]

13. Costco's doing them for $15. n/t

[uppityperson]

15. That is a decent price. My insurance covered mine in full so I have enough for 13 hot dogs and tax!

[winter is coming]

16. Yeah, just got a mental image of you sitting at a table

with 13 hot dogs lined up, ready to go.

[uppityperson]

17. And 13 big glasses of Pepsi!

Well, maybe only 12, and 1 churro for dessert.

19. Will probably get mine on Friday afternoon.

Gives me a weekend in case of a reaction.

22. I got mine and even though the nurse who gave it warned me it would sting, it didn't.

Now hopefully I will not get sick this flu season.
