That shit I had last week almost killed me. I am still not over it.
Wish this one was in the flu shot, but I guess it will end up in it next year.

You should have licked the handrail at the bus station instead. Go straight to the source.
And no, this is not concern trolling.

I should get my flu shot but I have not, in the past few years. The last two that I did get, I was sick with in hours vomiting.
I know....doctors say that illness is not possible from the injection.

You can absolutely get flu-like symptoms from the flu shot.
But they're just the symptoms. And you not getting it helps other people. I get my shot to "take one for the team".
Oh - and I let my fevers burn themselves out if I can stand it. Far faster recovery.

It's not about shots, but about doctors needing to give antivirals quickly once an at risk person gets the flu.
I was surprised to discover that I am considered "at risk," but this month has been full of them.
I had my flu shot in late October, the refrigerated no preservative, quad one. I did fine with it.
This is all making me not want to get any labs done while it's flu season though.

Stay away from people. Almost all the techs got it but since we get no sick time unless you accrue it everyone comes to work.

I work from home most of the time, and now there is a blizzard! I was going to go get some labs done and then head to a client's on Thursday or Friday, but the guy I am meeting has a cold so he wants to reschedule, just as well.
I will call the lab and see when the quietest time is.
