no...I rather takes my chances and get it naturally than have it induced. We have the option as we're in contact with the public, but the number of people I know who do have it and feel rotten... :P - but it's good for the elderly, they should. Touch wood, I haven't had a bad bout since 2000 - what a New Year that was!!

I never got one and I very seldom get flu. I heard that they're just shooting blind when they make up the vaccine and they have a 50/50 chance of guessing which strain it will be on any given year. Also that the shots contain Mercury which is used to inactivate the virus. Mercury is deadly poison which is like lead and not eliminated. It builds up in the body, so each shot is like getting a cumulative dose of Mercury.

Certain populations should get the flu vaccine every year. These individuals include persons older than 50; anyone with chronic medical conditions such as asthma, heart disease, diabetes, immune suppression, and kidney disease; health care workers; nursing home residents; and women who are pregnant during the flu season. Also, anyone who lives with these individuals should also be vaccinated to decrease the risk of exposure for people at risk.

No. I don't feel the need. If I get the cold/a flu, then i get it. Also, most flu vaccinations are new for that season and haven't been tested very well, therefore carrying the risks of side effects etc.
