I never used to get flu shots. I was like 45 or 46 before I got my 1st one. My primary care doctor talked me into it by telling me that thousands of people die every year from the flu, and that a simple flu shot can greatly reduce the risk of getting or dying from it. So now I get one each year.
After getting our flu shots the 4 of us went to dinner. That makes it more fun. We went to Purple Parrot and I had a good taco salad. It was an enjoyable, early evening. I was home by 7:00.

spouse got his free at work last week (gotta love the healthcare industry perks!). I get mine the end of this month at my MD's office; why pay $45 at CVS when I can get it for $25 (co-pay) at the MD's office!
I've debated about getting the flu shot, still a flu shot virgin at 55. I keep getting different responses from doctors if the flu shot would be safe for me, due to all my allergies. And until recently it wasn't that much of an issue, as my over zealous immune system kept me from catching anything, ever. But now I'm healthier, and my immune system is more or less like a normal persons, so technically I could now catch the flu....
I always get the flu shot, even though some years it does not seem to help.
Good for you!
