Ive had the flu twice already this season and it was the first time my Dr practicly forced the shot on me.

I feel ripped off! They're now saying it's only effective against 40% of flu viruses, but if they don't use all the vaccines, they wont make enough for next year. Anyone else feel like a flu-ridden lab rat?

I have been sick a lot this winter too. My grandson goes to a sitter and he brings all kinds of stuff home. And I catch it all! (We see him a lot). I refuse the flu shot. I just tell them I am allergic to eggs.

I've never gotten a Flu shot & I'm 45 now. Doctor asks me every year, but I feel it's too risky for me personally. My doctor is okay with that.
