Voted "Yes" since there was no option for "Already have". Though my 
status puts me at lower risk (Those of us around in the 70's may have some residual immunity, I think that immunity came from being exposed to 
and 
) my diabetes puts me at increased risk. The department offered it free a couple weeks ago and I took advantage of it.

Got mine some time ago. Working at a hospital that has seen several cases come through, I figured better safe than sorry. I'm on the borderline of being old enough to have some immunity but AJ is a prime potential host for this nasty bug.

Didn't mean to lecture.....but you should get the damn shot. 
Make sure you call me if you get the flu. I like saying "I told you so."

Being forward deployed in Iraq. I didnt have the option of not getting the shot. If you decided to not get it, you would be punished under the UCMJ. A week after I got the shot, CNN had their report on all the recalled shots for week doses and ill structured vaccines.

If you didn't have to get the shot, would you want to on your own?

Well, since you're nagging me and I like you, I did consider it a little bit more and think about why I don't want it. But alas, my stubbornness won out and I'm still not getting it.

Just truly interested in why some folks are so set against these shots.
