Are you getting a flu shot this year?
 

Just got mine this afternoon. How about you?

Havent got one in decades. This year, I got one even though I've not been sick in 3+ years.

Actually got mine 2 weeks ago. First flu shot since I got out of the military 10 years ago

Also inb4 someone claims that getting the flu shot caused them to get the flu.

The problem with getting a flu shot now is that you'll probably end up getting a different variant in January. We're almost to the point where we need two flu shots for two different seasons every year.

I've heard this before and as much as I hate being 'that guy' - The only time I got one - I ended up with the Flu.

That could be, but it clearly wasn't from the shot.

that really bothers people huh? Well it's the cold hard truth

The flu shot is only about 40% effective. You can't get the flu from the shot itself but it's entirely possible to get the shot and still get the flu.

also don't ask a question if you don't want honest answers - here - I'll fabricate a response for you.

NO BUT I'M GOING TO GO - Walgreens is offering a free $10 gift card PLUS the shot is literally free atop that!

I believe the estimate is around 50% of flu cases are spread by those who are asymptomatic, so getting a shot every year still helps to some extent with preventing the spread, even if you don't get symptoms.

All of this is correct. It's amazing that people can't/don't/won't comprehend this.

40% effective= useless waste of time. Almost 50/50
Also doesn't prove you didn't get it because you got the shot.
It's a facade. Sham.

Yes. This is Not a COVID inspired change as our son has a heart condition so we all get them each year to help protect him.
