I am flu shotted as of 9:20 this morning. Sickies (I hate that word when used to describe me when I'm sick) feel free to breathe on me! :) I am invincible!
Oh, the flu shot, you are the daring one....I am sure if I ever got the shot, I would get the flu from it for sure...fortunately I haven't had the flu in ages and I figure, if its not broke, don't fix it, right???? Now I have to go knock on wood to offset the bragging I just did about not getting the flu.
I am still undecided. My work is giving free flu shots this season. I have never had one. I have had the flu twice in my life that I can remember, so I feel my chances of staying healthy are pretty good. Anyway, I have until 11/7 to decide.
I need a flu shot too, I'd LOVE to be invincible! My son is getting one, he calls them "shocks" as in "I don't want to get a shock". Well, my dear, you're in for one next week! Sorry.
It probably is 89% placebo effect. I don't think I'm going to get sick so I don't. Last year I didn't get a flu shot and I did get sick as hell and actually got sent home from work. Hence, in my mind if I get a flu shot I won't get sick. :)
I never thought of it that way...that makes sense. See for me, I would get the shot, be convinced I was going to get sick from it, so I would end up sick for sure.
Sometimes I think getting a cold is 90% psychological.
