Flu and Flu shots

Featured Replies

Call around to chain drug stores - you will find one for $20 somewhere. Also check with your town health department.

Nadda around here man. Even called a friend who is a nurse at a hospital.

They still had them at CVS in North Arlington . H&B Pharmacy as well.

Those people who say that they have the Flu for 2 or 3 days and are back to normal do not have the Flu. They might have a stomach virus, but it's not Influenza. You will be affected for weeks, and it often leads to Pneumonia or other respiratory infections. No shot for me, read the list of ingredients, they're mostly poison, and as already stated, not guaranteed to protect against this years strains.

 

On another note, I've heard others on a different forum I frequent, post until they're blue in the face, that the shot does not make you sick. But my own anecdotal evidence suggests otherwise. Whenever someone has been out sick from work, at their return I ask if they had the shot, and all of them have said yes.

I've never gotten the flu shot and the wife got it once and it made her very ill, so never again. Knock on wood, haven't caught the flu in 10+ years

I'm on the last leg of having it for three weeks. Yes, I had a shot this year which did not make me sick. If I heard correctly, they say that this particular strain has not been seen in ten years.

Since I started working in a school It's more beneficial to get it. Normally I wouldn't care but the risk is really high of transmission here.

The current risk of transmission is high everywhere. Every doorknob you touch, every faucet handle...

 

The "poison" in these shots are no different than the "poisons" in the shots that have eradiacated smallpox, measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox and others.

 

Again, if the shot "makes you sick" that's a good thing. It means it provoked your immune system. It is a killed virus, so it cannot give you a case of the flu. The nasal spray is a live attenuated and more likely to give you sniffles.

Never liked the way they worded it as a "dead virus". It simply lacks a mechanism which allows it to reproduce(however it can find a way to reproduce but the cases are so far and few). Yes, when you get the shot your immune system begins to expend resources to make anti-bodies, this is why they ask if your sick when u get the shot. it can drain your immune system if your already fighting off an infection, causing illness.

 

The risk of transmission is def. dependent on your surroundings, i cannot wash my hands and keep them clean for more then 5 minutes working in a school, it's just not possible. Then you have kids sneezing all over everything and everywhere.... it's just the worst case scenario you can think of... But yeah, the risk is everywhere.
