Show of Hands

Yes, and Yes I did get the Flu Vaccine. The Flu was very mild since I had the Vaccine in September. I advise everyone to get the Flu Shot yearly.

No but I had it in October

No, but I got staph.

Much worse....

Yes. It was mild. And yes I get the flu shot every single year—-ever since I got a horrible flu 20 years ago. Learned my lesson. Get the shot.

Don’t Get Sick

When it's cold

Nope! And will never get the flu shot. I use oils once a week to help my compromised immune system. Friend just had strep and eye infection. I made her 4 “antibiotic bombs” and she was well in two days!

i got the flu vaccine this year in september and a few weeks ago i got extremely ill with what i believe was the flu. i think i’m a rare case in which the flu vaccine harms rather than helps my chances

Yes. Flu over Christmas and New Year holidays. Was brutal.

No. Just a cold that developed into a nasty cough for months.

Nope. Never had it either. I think I inherited my mom’s strong immune system. Except when it comes to bacterial infections.

No flu in many, many years (probably 20). But, I did start getting the flu shot a couple years back because of having very elderly in-laws.

I went to a winter camp with my church youth group. There I got sick for like an hour (randomly) and now I’m doing A-OK!

No but almost my entire family did, I was the only one who was spared

Maybe...if so, I got it 2 hours ago...too soon to tell. But I did get a flu shot so maybe what I feel now is something else.

No flu, no shot for me. Elderberry FTW.

No - get the flu shot every year.

Is that really a thing? Sounds made up.

The flu in influenza?

Nope. No poisonous flu vaccine either.

no, and I didn't get the flu vaccine either. my immune system is far too powerful for your mortal diseases

Yes, I get it every year and make sure my wife gets it too..also have all the pneumonia shots.

Not so far. I had it last winter and was sick for a month.

No

No. I have a stubborn sore throat at the moment (I get one or two every winter) but no flu symptoms. When I get sick, it's almost always a sore throat. I have very few issues with my stomach or my lungs.

No but I took my flu shot.

No, but whenever say “I haven’t gotten the flu for 5 years”, i get it the day after. So goddamnit SOH! If I get the flu this winter it will be your fault.

Never have

Nope, and I never have. I haven't had a flu shot in 15 years either.

No but I had a bad cold that was directly followed by food poisoning so it kind of felt like the flu...

No, not even a bad cold which you shouldn't confuse with *influenza* which comes with joint pain, high fever, extreme fatigue and can be very dangerous.

Pink eye.

I hope I get it so I can miss school for a while.

I don't think I've gotten the flu but I've been sick a couple times with some strong viruses that would probably make some people think it was the flu.
Went from a head cold/stomach virus to chest congestion, took a little over two weeks but I'm pretty well past it now.

No and I got my flu shot. However, this week alone we diagnosed more than 20 people with influenza A that I know of. 😷

I’m sure there was more in today, but I was off. Wash your hands, cover your mouth when you cough and sneeze, and stay home when you are ill.

No. Get the vaccine and it always works. Do have self diagnosed bronchitis now though.

Nope

Just the flu shot, before winter. No flu yet.

If SoH just made me jinx myself I’m gonna be pissed...

Nope. secret: wash hands a few times a day and never touch public door handles or knobs.
