Are you immune to Flu jabs? Have you ever had them?

I do not get flu shots anymore. Every time that I do, I immediately get sick. My doctor says that flu shots will not do that and someone my age should get a flu shot every year. I guess this is just another way that I am weird.

Vaccine Company:"Tell your patients they need to get flu shots and we will compensate you." Doctor:"Oh, you should have this shot."
 
I get a Flu Shot every year. First because I live with my Senior Parents (80 & 78), second because whenever I get a stomach ache, I feel like I'm dying and I start to freak out a bit! :eek::rolleyes: The only side affect I get is that a few months after the shot, I'll get a slight "Ping" of discomfort in the muscle I was given the shot in.
 
IIRC the flu virus mutates frequently. The vaccine you get is what the medical community THINKS is going to be the most prevalent strain. That doesn't mean you can't get some other mutated version & develop the flu. Or the virus mutates after the vaccine is developed. That's why the flu vaccine is not 100% guaranteed.
