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.   

Without the polio vaccine a lot of us either wouldn't here or would be severely crippled.  But maybe the medical community was honest back then....

I don't do the flu shots.  I do the essential vaccines.  Thinking about the shingles shots.

Shingles are miserable.  I had a bad case two years ago.  Still have after effects.  Get the shots.  The new ones are very effective.  You don't want shingles.

Guido Hibdon had some leg issues that a doctor blamed on polio..... because back then that was one of the things doctors blamed things they couldn't cure on.    Was it really polio?   Probably not, but who can prove them wrong?  Once one doctor says it, then that's the lifelong prognosis.   🙄

I watched several friends and family members with it.  NO THANKS!!!  I got the shots.

And heck maybe we are all wrong.

Polio sure did a lot of damage before the vaccine.  You cannot deny that FACT

              My Dad was from the generation that did not have the polio vaccine. He had it and I watched him live with it until his passing. Know another guy still living with it. Very sad but he did the best he could. 

        Two part shingles vaccine for us last summer!

My 1st shingles shot really got my attention for about a week. The second one was no problem but I had to bite my lip to get it.

My grandmother lost her left eye to shingles when I was a kid.  Still remember her sitting in her chair with cold cloth on her face crying.

No kidding.  I asked the nurse to hold me tight while they gave me the second one...😁

Doc mentioned shingles shot a while back, but I kinda thought I'd wait a while because I don't like to be an early adopter. I think I'm gonna put the shingles shot on my to-do list. I had shingles in 2009 and don't want it again.
