I've gotten the flu shot twice, and both years I ended up much sicker than all the others I've gone without. Don't know why, but it isn't for me.

Set your sick ass at home then. Last thing we need is for you to start an epidemic entering a stadium full of 70,000 people.

I hope you feel better soon.

Yes. But getting the Flu shot doesn't mean you won't get the Flu either. . The guys on the team probably did get the Flu shot.
I heard shady got the flu shot and it made him fumble.

Flu shots rarely match the strain of flu going around. When I had hogs I was continually exposed to different viruses (strains) so never got sick. Now that I'm retired I don't get a flu shot either. If i feel any symptom starting I immediately get on the flu bomb. Usaually 4 doses over 2 days knocks it out. At the same time with the flu bomb it helps to take megadoses of Vit C and eat a slice of onion with the flu bomb.

Ive never got the flu. Ever.

Ive had the flu shot once. I got the chicken pox once.

How are some of you so sickly?

But it begs the question, if you got the flu shot and then got the flu. Is it really that effective?

It doesn’t protect you from all strains, but it does protect you from some - and generally lessens your symptoms if you do get the flu.

You also can gain immunities over time to more strains.

Talk to ER nurses about the flu shot. the flu still kills people, even young, healthy ones. Flu shot lessens the chance of that happening.

Fair enough. I think since I don't have children I have an advantage, it's very easy for me to not get sick. Parents have to deal with their children coming home from school after rolling around touching everything, without a care in the world to disease.

But I play poker and handle chips all of the time which one would think could be a death wish. I've made a more concerted effort to not touch my face, or handles with my entire hand when I'm out in public but I've never had an issue with getting the flu. Someday something like the movie Contagion will happen and we will all bite the bullet.

Maybe I've got the flu, but didn't even know it because I'm just simply so manly? Perhaps that is it?
