Flu Shots?

Ive always been against flu shots. People these days get all these things for their children, keep them in a bubble, make them wash their hands, no playing in the dirt, and what happens? They end up getting more sick because they were never exposed to any germs so they develop ZERO immune system. Anyway thats besides the fact. Check this poor lady out who got a flu shot that ruined her life.

i am skeptical about flu shots also, but i have been getting them the last few years w/ no problems. medically it is smart to get one each year, but if you're in good health, and aren't sick often i wouldn't say it isn't needed.

disclaimer-i'm not a physician.

Honestly I have felt the same way for a while, but last night my 13 month old son had his first fever of 102 and it was pretty scary. A bunch of kids have died because their parents waited to take their kids to the hospital. My son turned out to be fine, but it was scary nonetheless so I shall be getting a flu shot sometime soon.

shizzle happens... My doctor advised against getting the flu shot when i was young. Kids are supposed to get sick so they can build up there immune systems.
