I've never had a flu shot. I've avoided most vaccinations due to an allergy. In one winter I got chickenpox AND measles. Was a fun time.
Vaccinations are free here, wife is considering getting it for her and kiddo. Kiddo has barely even had a cold though so I'm not sure he's at much risk. (Plus he's not in a daycare which helps a ton.)

I've never bothered with one myself, but now with Gabi in preschool... I may consider it. I will ask the doc what she thinks when I take the little one in for her vacc. Sofia is due for her chickenpox vaccine in a few weeks, YAYYY!! So glad she and her sister will never have to go through the itching, the oatmeal baths, the pure misery that was chickenpox for me and my siblings!!

The only time I've ever gotten one, I got the flu that year.
I'll pass  My kids got them once. They never got the flu. Not sure if my daughter is going to get them for the girls. She hasn't so far.

I've never gotten one, neither has my son or husband. Apparently we don't get the flu, we just get e-coli from Taco Bueno salsa.

I can still remember one year of flu when I was a kid. My mom always got the flocked trees and did everything up. Not that year. We had a green tree and maybe a few bulbs on it.
The whole family had the flu. 4 of us. Christmas morning everyone went downstairs around the tree to look at gifts that mostly weren't wrapped. We thanked each other and went back to our respective beds. Lol!

Zoe gets one every year. I should get one this year too since I'm pregnant, but I probably won't. I've never had the shot and the last time I had the flu was when I was 12 or so.

Nope, no flu shot here. If it works on you, it only keeps you from getting a cold (influenza/nasal crap). If it worked on the other flu (stomach/please kill me crap) then I would definitely give it a whirl.
And as for that commercial for the disease that is passed via kissing? That's a very old, not so common, one that I am sure you've heard of before but they try to sound scary and use it's full name. It's just bacterial meningitis - which really isn't that common but seems to flare up once in a while and is SUPER contagious. And yes, it's fatal if not treated right away. (Learned ALLLLL about that disease last year. The bacterial and viral type... woman got bacterial, her son's half-brother got viral.. don't ask me how! It was going around something fierce here.)
