It's coming up on that time of year. Will you get your kids flu shots?

I'm not sure if I'll get her one, but I definately won't get myself one. I'm a big wuss when it comes to needles!

I know it's anecdotal, but every year we got the flu shot (it was required for work) we would get the flu. The past 2-3 years we didn't get the shot and didn't get the flu. So FU flu shot!

I've never had much faith in flu shots.

Probably not. If it's not guaranteed to work, then why get it? Just another needle in my poor little thing's leg. I hate seeing him get stuck, especially if it's not for a really good reason. Anyway he's already got the flu. LOL

I have never gotten a flu shot, and I've never gotten the flu. However, my brother gets the flu shot and it ALWAYS makes him sick. I'm on the fence about whether or not I'll give it to Nolan..but I'm leaning towards not.

I don't know if this is true but I thought I heard that they were going to make the flu shot mandatory for children. Now I can't remember where I heard this. Did anyone else hear this? | ||

I probably won't get the flu shot for myself as usual I will be too lazy to actually go to Kroger and get it done but I will ensure that my kids get it.
