I just don't know what to think. You may think I am overeacting however, I choose to view my concerns as being cautious. And having 4 childrens well being in my hands I would say cautious is the way to go.<br /><br />Everyone else seems split. I guess I'll have to make this call all on my own. Don't worry though, I'm sure I'll post the results either way.Raquelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826977458991854551.post-34926071366394608252010-11-14T10:45:28.716-08:002010-11-14T10:45:28.716-08:00I don't think I've EVER had a flu shot, bu...I don't think I've EVER had a flu shot, but not because I really have an opinion. My oldest son is allergic to eggs so he can't have the regular flu shot, and my little one gets them if we're at the dr.'s. I trust the Dr. more than I trust my own opinions about things, but maybe I'm just being ignorant... I don't know.Mama4Realhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16739792612014865081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826977458991854551.post-84946612156777283132010-11-13T17:03:49.552-08:002010-11-13T17:03:49.552-08:00The whole flu-vaccine topic is such a touchy one. ...The whole flu-vaccine topic is such a touchy one. I'm in a nursing faculty, and even there we have many debates regarding the effects. It's a very interesting and controversial topic that will never go away. Oh well, it's blog fodder though!...see how my mind works?<br />Great post and thought provoquing post Raquel!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894333322881236627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826977458991854551.post-82428804514695394222010-11-12T17:56:42.053-08:002010-11-12T17:56:42.053-08:00I get my flu and pneumonia shot every year.

Last year I had a connection with a guy who got his scheduled when he went to a doc in the box for some rash cream. Everyone in town was waiting in long long lines and he had an appointment for a Tuesday at 11 a.m. He calls me while in the place and says, "Psst, wanna go with me for a flu shot next Tues at 11 a.m.?" I said "Sure!" We felt so special. We NEVER told anyone how we got the shots.Charlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17167633465853736197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826977458991854551.post-87892147383890071412010-11-12T16:04:46.136-08:002010-11-12T16:04:46.136-08:00I catch a lot of grief from my family, but I won&#...I catch a lot of grief from my family, but I won't get one. Ironically, I was the only one in my family that DIDN'T get the flu last year. (their cases weren't severe, but they had it nonetheless.)OHNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03856294075428012923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826977458991854551.post-41173387861811728452010-11-12T14:39:34.388-08:002010-11-12T14:39:34.388-08:00I think you're overreacting.

Although I opted out last year (got the "standard" flu shot but didn't bother with the H1N1) due to what I knew was a media frenzied overreaction, I didn't have a choice this year.<br /><br />I am quite familiar with what a vaccine *must* go through in order to be FDA approved - I was part of the U.S. Army Vaccine Testing protocol many years ago. Trust me, they've already killed a bunch of Army folks before they EVER try to kill civilians.<br /><br />I wouldn't lie ... maybe ... ;)~Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05427053242655177097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826977458991854551.post-54636423426126918742010-11-12T13:33:54.222-08:002010-11-12T13:33:54.222-08:00I get it every year.
