I have never had a flu shot.
But last January I did get the flu and I was soooooo sick!
So this year, yes, I will get my first flu shot.
Missy, I don't know if I can. My employer allows us to get a free flu shot, and I'm guessing that I have no choice in which formula they are giving.@stracci2000 please get the preservative free flu vaccination. It comes in single dose and it contains no mercury and leaves out other harmful ingredients. Much safer IMO.

But I will certainly ask! Thanks for the tip!
Most of the vaccinations given now are preservative free I believe...definitely request it. If you have sensitivities I believe they have to accommodate you...just thinking out loud.
DH got his but I had to confirm it was okay through my Drs first. Got my okay but they were out of vaccines for the day. Woke up unable to walk. I'm improving so will get the vaccine when my muscles are less sensitive and I'm not relying on my one good arm to use a cane.
