Poll question: Have you or do you plan on getting the swine flu vaccine?
Edited on Wed Nov-11-09 04:24 AM by Tiggeroshii
I got mine on Friday. Doing alright except for a minor cough and some hives that have snuck up that may or may not be related to the vaccine. Otherwise all is well. How many of you guys have, are against or indifferent to getting the flushot?

2. Had it already, don't need the vaccine.
Us older people don't get it as bad as young people do, just an annoyance for 10 days or so.
Looking for the regular flu vaccine, though.

3. I intend to
Staff in the aged care home where I work are being offered the vaccine if we want it and I've signed up for it. Will come on here and whine pitifully if I have any nasty side effects.

4. I got the vaccine a couple of weeks ago
No issues---having an underlying health condition made it important

5. If there's any left over after the people who really need it are shot up,
maybe. Got the regular flu shot last month. Made it this far.

6. The only times since 1968 that I had the flu
was on the three occasions I got the shot. So I no longer get a shot.
