OMG, me too! I used to be against the flu shot for otherwise healthy individuals, but then I got flu two years in a row. I was out of commission for more than two weeks each time. Fever of almost 105. Scary.I got the flu one year. Not stomach flu, the real thing. I was completely out of it for two weeks, and dead on my feet for six more. I lost an entire semester because of it.
I get the flu shot every year now, and I have to say I've been getting fewer colds and other bugs as well since then, and the ones I get don't last as long. Don't know if that's a side effect of my immune system being boosted by the shot, but it sure helps.
So do it! Go out and get shot!
