I get the flu shot each fall and have for several years. Never have had a problem with it except maybe sometimes that night or next day feel a little flulike a few hours. |
A lot to think about. I don't know if my anemia would classify me as someone who really needs to get it or not. Those of you who got/ get the shot did you get it at a doctors office or somewhere like CVS? |
I always get the flu shot at the doctor's office. |
I get the Flu Shot every year and have never had a problem. |
My employer provides flu shots for anyone who wants them. I have taken advantage for the last 8 or 9 years except for one. I had a sinus infection and couldn't take it one year. I was sick all that winter with sinus infections and upper respiratory infections. I have never had a reaction to the flu shot. A nurse comes to our office and gives them, in fact this coming Tuesday is flu shot day at the bank..and yes I am getting one. |

WARNING: IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO LATEX YOU SHOULD READ THIS BEFORE HAVING THE VACCINE. Someone I know is presently ill due to the latex in the vaccine, apparently if it is in one of the tubes listed with latex a certain amount of latex is absorbed by the contents... 2012 ? 2013 Flu Vaccine Information | American Latex Allergy Association |

My kids and I are all allergic to latex. |
Like Jadabug I get them through my employer, they come into the office every year and set up a clinic. they offer flu shots, wellness exams, free toothbrushes and floss (all all that kind of stuff). My employer wraps all this around open enrollment for our healthcare benefits. I do know people who get their flu shots every year at either CVS, Walgreens or another pharmacy and have not had any problems. I have used the CVS Minute Clinic a couple of times for sinus infections and just a few weeks ago to get my Tetnus shot (I believe they called it TDAP). Always have been a GREAT experience. |
I get the flu shot every year at my doctor's office. I am a teacher and I figure it can't hurt since I am around sneezing, sniffling, coughing children all day long. I have never had a bad reaction to it, such as flu-like symptoms, just a little sore spot on my arm from the shot itself. I am also allergic to latex and have never had an issue with that aspect of it either. |

I can't imagine a teacher NOT getting the shot...when my kids were school age I was sick all the time with the ills they brought home! I commend all teachers for what you do and all that you have to put up with these days, I hope its rewarding to know that you make a difference...! |

Every single time I go to my PCP as I am getting up onto the table they ask me if I am allergic to Latex, before they glove up. When I got my flu shot, there was an extra question on the consent form about latex allergy and the nurse asked me again before she got the shot. So I was asked about latex allergy 3 times that day, once in writing. |
