I get one every year. Just got one a few weeks ago.

I wouldn't get one tho, when coming right off of a steroid. I'd wait a bit to do it.

When I got my flu shot last month tho, it was either pretty strong this year, or my immune system was down a little bit because I was about to come down with shingles. I ended up getting a fever for a few days, and felt pretty bad for more than a week. That worried me a lot. Gave me a hint of what's going to happen if I get sick this winter.

I'm pretty sure I reacted to the shot that way because I was coming down with shingles at the same time. The shingles hit about a week or two later. And I was pretty sick feeling for the first couple of weeks of shingles.


I used to not get flu vaccines before, but since I got MS, and then my dad has serious cardiac problems. I'd rather get vaccinated than take the chance I'd get a really bad flu that would set off a flare. Or something that would make my dad really sick. I think I get the flu shot more to protect my dad.
