Bobber, the first time I got the regular flu shot, I got the flu but my Dr. said it was a strain that wasn't included in the shot. I have been getting them for about 10 years. By the way, I'm no. 1 on the SS list, older then dirt. LOL

Loretta, the reason my Dr. had me to start taking flu shots years ago is because my immune system was so low. I was very susceptable to catching things.

Pete, I am around the boys all of the time so I don't want to give them anything but they seem to catch things on their own. Dustin was sick for a month last year and lost a lot of weight. The kids passed things around for 2 months there for awhile along with Susan and Travis. I got on them and made them get their asses in to the Dr. Susan is like her Dad was, hates Drs. I think it's because Bill and I practically lived in them the last 10 years of his life.

I would rather have the shot though then deal with the flu. I also have had the pneumonia shot.
