jdmidwest Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 I don't do the flu shots. I do the essential vaccines. Thinking about the shingles shots. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson

But I don't get flu shots. Especially don't believe that getting a flu shot makes you immune to the flu. Too many strains. The issue with COVID mutating at a high rate is a big concern for me whether a vaccine would be effective. Mitch f 1

Does not make you immune but lessens the severity if you get it. We get it and will continue to get it. I have talked to some that did not get it and got a bad case of the flu. Ask @duckydoty if he will get one next season. I know there are some that cannot get the shot because of egg allergies. I understand that. Like most things in life you have a choice. Do the ends justify the means? We all take chances.

My statement about immunity refers to what many think about the flu shot. Most don't know that it is basically the best guess in terms of the strains that they include in each year's shot. Mitch f 1

Where can I get more info? I get the flu shot every year and have had the shingles vaccines. Both rounds. My daughter can't get the flu shot. She broke in the worse hives you've ever seen. Lasted for months poor girl.... Mitch f 1

Depends on the vaccine, I want to learn as much as I can about it before having it injected into me or my children. They tried to force a series of shots into puberty aged females several years ago, the information was sketchy and I said No. They threatened not allowing them in school without it.....but enough people, statewide I guess, balked and they dropped it.
