Get your flu shot

66. I don't get the shot EVER

My mother died within days of getting a flu shot. She was not cleared for one but her local pharmacy cornered her and gave her one. When we brought it up that we had already told them she was not a candidate for the flu vaccine they claimed not to know even though we entered it in her pharmacy record. She started having massive strokes and passed very quickly. Then they tell us not everyone should get a flu shot. NO SHIT SHERLOCK! That's why we told them and had them enter it in her record. They made their $10 off her insurance company though, hope it was worth it.

I don't like the flu vaccine because they are just guessing and more often than not the guess was completely wrong. You can look up the CDC chart on VE (vaccine effectiveness) per year.

Like many of you on this sub thread line I have been one of the only people at work. One year the organization brought in the flu shots to be given for free to the staff. Only me and 2 others did not get the vaccine. Guess which 3 people were able to work? We actually had to close down a couple of days for there was not enough employees well enough to work.

The organization never did that free flu shot thing ever again. Having worked there so long I knew exactly which of my staff will get the shot and then get sick and then run out their sick time so they have to use up their vacation days and can't take that coveted Christmas week vacation.
