This flu Vaccine is encourages everyone older than 6 months to get a flu vaccine. Even though this vaccine is only 62% effective. elderly people are mostly flu-related deaths.
I don't think that they should tell us that oh u need this go get it. Like when I got a spranded ankle i didn't go to the doctor cuz I could still walk. Why go get a vaccine on something that we don't have yet, It costs our parents more money anyway.

The flu may be a outrage but obviously the shot aint helping. I think by getting the shot it makes it easier to get the flu! They say the flu shot is more for lungs and your respiratory system on getting the flu. But seriously they shouldnt be telling everyone to be getting one unless they want or need one because of there immune system.
I think that it is must to get a flu shot. Flu shots help prevent you from getting sick, yes i know that it doesn't cover all forms of the flu but it helps you fight it off. By getting the flu shot you are protecting yourself from everyone else who has the flu. The flu shot is not a waste of money, its well worth it because you are saving yourself exhaustion and multiple other things.
Flu Vaccines are very good for you and if you don't have one you should get one! They help!
I think that flu season is so long, and antaginizing! It goes on. I got the mist, up my nose. It didn't hurt, more tickled than anything. It took like 5 minutes, so even if it isn't completely affected it still may help, and doesn't take that much time out of your day. It's simple, and it doesn't hurt to try to prevent.
No you don't actually. You actually really should Not get one. They farm the virus from a fertilized chicken egg. They take a small amount of the virus and mix it with a whole huge load of poisons and toxins which are really bad for your body. Besides if you want to not get the flu you should try to poison yourself with poisons. If you want to avoid the flu don't give inject the flu into you and have your immune system fight two things off. So bottom line. Don't get one.
Yeah the flu season is crazy and longer this year! I think its a smart idea to get a shot!
