Getting the shot isn't about you getting sick or not. Most 20, 30, and 40 year old will recover after a while, even if it kicks their butt.

The shot is about making it so you can't transmit diaease to babies, the elderly, and the immuno-comprimised.

Absolutely. Please get it. Protect yourself and protect those around you.

Of course. Or are you thinking one of us might be more qualified than the FDA?

Get the shot. Tomorrow at a Walgreens or CVS or care center near you. Your insurance will likely pay.

Doesn't hurt

You poor thing!

Thanks for asking the question, yes, the CDC recommends it for the reasons people have already listed above. It doesn’t hurt and it’s free w insurance. 👍👍 I have babies and really appreciate that people get the shot

Get the shot !!! In the 2 years of my adult life that I haven’t gotten the shot I’ve been down with the flu for 5 days. Other 10 years I’ve been totally fine. Yes it works, and yes it helps prevent transmission of disease to others

I do every year, but I wouldn’t attest to say it’s prevented me from getting sick...but it certainly doesn’t hurt to get it. Between the flu shot + daily vitamins/airborne, I’d slipped by and haven’t gotten sick at all this past year!

Vitamins and airborne are placebos. Save your $$

I didn’t get the shot my first year in consulting and then got hit hard with the flu- was in bed for over a week. Ever since then, I have gotten the flu shot and will continue to (especially since most people in my life are having babies).
