Answer to original question is no, but just because of laziness. I havn't had the real flu in 18 yrs. my wife who gets the shot gets it every year. Too bad for her.

I got mine today. Weird though, the shot was in the right shoulder and my left shoulder was the one that felt funny afterwards.

I say better safe than sorry, but I just found my wife doesn't bother anymore or with the kids. She claims she always gets the flu anyways, so not worth the time. She's not saying she gets the flu from the shot, just the shot is ineffective because it's too hard to get the formula right. For me, I had to walk 30 ft from my office to the conference room to get one, so it was a no brainer.

I've had weird aches an pains since I got my shot two days ago. Coincidence, of course, but it's now in my mind.

I know it's for the greater good because if I get the flu I'm down for at least a week, but I haven't felt that great since I got my shot this week.

I started getting aches where I hadn't ever had them before two days after the shot. Every day since it has gotten better. I would not say it actually gave the flu, just aches. I never had that happen before, but it's been awhile since I have the shot and I'm not getting younger.
