The only I got the flu was when I got the flu shot. Never again.
I got it after I found out the odds of getting shingles was so high for people who had chickenpox.I could start another thread but is anyone getting the Shingles Vax.
It's something I kinda dread.
Hell no !!!In my lifetime, I took one flu shot many years ago and got sick. Then went decades without any vaccinations until last year and got one then. I can't say I got sick from the shot, but I probably won't get any more. I've just had too many years of no shots and no flu cases to worry about it.
20 years in military.Always get the flu shot. Never had the flu.

I’ve seen people with shingles in their eyes, throat, even into their lungs . The pain is so bad even for regular shingles locations that I RAN to the pharmacy & got the shingles vax. Every vax is a risk-reward decision, but this was a no brainer for me.
Wish I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard that. Common misconception. But they are not related. You can’t catch the flu from the shot, & getting the shot doesn’t make you more susceptible to getting the flu.everytime I get the flu shot. I get the flu badly.
going to a pharmacy with a bunch of sick people to get the shot is more likely to make someone sick than the shot (which you're right about not making people sick).Wish I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard that.
