I'm a shot weenie but I feel the need to get one this year. Don't know why - I've played the odds every year prior to this and have been lucky.

I've never gotten one and probably won't bother again this year. There are so many people at much greater risk than me, that I don't see the point.

Flu shots made both my mother and brother very sick, so they don't get them any more. I've never had one.
I've had the flu. Not fun at all. If I wasn't afraid my body would react like theirs did, I'd get the shot."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

I'll be avoiding the flu shot again this year. A few years ago, a co-worker's wife had a neurological response to the flu shot. They were wondering about MS, stroke, and other paralysing conditions.
Since I don't work with the elderly or immune suppressed, I'd rather not take that chance. Besides, should I get the flu <knock wood, I hope not to> my naturopath will have remedies to help me through it fast.
We each follow our own path though. I hope it works flawlessly for you and your mom!
