Who's Getting a Flu Shot?

[justme01]

I called the health department today and scheduled mine. It's only ten dollars.

The hospital I work at as a CNA gave me my flu shot for free!! When the H1N1 shots become available we will be able to receive those as well for free too!

In a few weeks, definitely yes!

I got my flu shot at employee health for free. I'm not interested in the H1N1 vaccine.

I am not getting the flu shot (I did once about seven years ago and it turned out to be the wrong strain) and definitely not the H1N1. I think it goes back to having been in the military and being forced to get every shot there was under the sun, including bubonic plague. If I get the flu, I've got the sick leave to cover it.

I got the flu shot from the hospital I work at for free. H1N1 will be available too, but I don't know if I'll get it. I really don't want to, but I am considering it because I don't want to contract H1N1 as a carrier and bring the bug home from work to my family or anyone for that matter. Hmmm... what to do??

[KimberlyRN89, BSN, RN]

No for both. My job is making all of us go to our doctors and be tested for H1N1. I have until the end of the month to bring them a note saying I don't have H1N1.

i had my flu shot from work. Not by choice:sniff:, it was mandatory for all staff

[GCTMT]

Yes, I will certainly be getting the flu shot, both of them if they become available. It seems like they are hard to get around here.

Bottom line, I can not afford to miss school or work due to illness.

[sonomala]

I've got kids. We're all getting both

[keithjones]

the chances of anyone I know dieing of swine flu or regular flu for that matter are slim to none, a friend's dad died of complication of Guillan-Barret syndrome from a flu vaccine... no shots for me or mine!

[misspink789]

i almost got one free at the facility that i work at the other day, the nurse told me that i might feel "yucky" for a couple days after and she scared me away from getting it. i want to get it but i am scared that i will get sick after and i cant afford that either. maybe i will go get it tomorrow, feelin like crap for a couple days is alot better then feeling that way for 2 weeks!
