just my opinion. i aggree with the idea of vaccines. some diseases are terrible and the body needs to the vaccine for survival (small pox, polio etc). But some diseases e.g. flu, feaver, cold, rash..it sounds abit senseless to have to take a shot since the body is expected to be able to combat it.
Either way i would opt for the surity of no flu by taking the shot. Either way I am still undecided!
Its a personal decision. Some things you want to consider are if people in your immediate family have a weakened immune system or existing medical conditions. E.g: an elderly family member who lives with you OR a child who is prone to asthmatic attacks. Your immune system maybe able to withstand the flu...however the risk maybe greater for the family member. In such situations it maybe wise to consult your doctor and get advice from the same. Some doctors may suggest that all the family members be innoculated.
Lastly, not to be insensitive to your original query but medical advice from the internet is inherent with flaws galore. If you are looking for consensus...taking multiple opinions from medical professionals is a better option.
Just for a clarification: I originally asked what people are doing. I am certainly not asking for medical advice. I am simply asking are u taking it? Yes its a personal decision but it helps to know what others who orignated where you came from are doing.

How does it help? Like I mentioned(in other words) most peoples medical histories are different. Maybe an emotional need? If so I understand.

Do you know anyone who didnt take the flu shot and later got Flu???

I once made a mistake, but I was wrong about it.
interesting question. mercury.
As for me, I like to know many aspects of a situation. Very often something may be solid scientifically but at the human and emotional level does not sit well (after all we are human).
Hence my interest in the question. I have free flu shots at my office but thats causing different reactions among the employees.
thanks to all who shared their experience.
