Have you had your flu shot?

[coyote]

Interesting thought X, maybe you can give me advice I will use or ignore. My husband's immune system is *supposedly* compromised by his Crohn's therapy, they keep telling him to get a flu shot but should I be the one getting one? Funny thing about him is I have been sick twice this year and he has not but he has the compromised immune system.

I have never had a flu shot and *knock on wood* never had the flu.

My SO has Lupus. She used to get the flu shot and end up sick the entire winter. We found some info on a Lupus website...the flu shot can trigger a Lupus episode. She does not get them anymore and she has had some pretty health winters.

I should get them but I've got a really strong immune system. I'm sure I may as I get older.
