Time for my Annual Flu Shot

Going to day to get my annual flu shot. I just started a couple of years ago getting this vaccine every year. Why not get one is what I say. Woke up to a cool 47 degrees this morning. Saw bluebirds at the bird bath and hummingbirds out as well. Surprised to see them in the cool temps. A few errands to do while I am out and about. Enjoy your day everyone.

I think that there will be quite a run on those wanting to get their flu shots this year. I cannot take it as I've had adverse reactions in the past.

i'd think so, too. like yerself, i'm 'xempt from such cause 'f 'dverse reaction, too. 'f course they say 'twas that particular strain, but i've no desire to go through all 'that' 'gain.

Good girl that you got your shot. My doctor said to wait until Halloween.

Our doctor said the same thing. It needs to last 3 months through the flu season. We are getting it in the middle of the month.

I snapped a few of the bluebirds but they are not very clear. I was on the deck and didn't have my big camera ready.

I haven't had a flu shot in a few years. Don't know if I'll get one this year but it sounds like a good idea. Enjoy your day!

I always do for the past few years. Paid 100% by insurance so better safe I thought.

@CarolDM I do get mine, but, will discuss with the doctor how to do it this year with the virus. I really do not want to go to places where there are a lot of people now. I have to do something else so a bit tricky.

@CarolDM We have lots with no masks and not social distancing here and anyway the fact is that there are too many people around. I was at the grocery store one time and the people gathered too close waiting for the store to open. I was there very early but I stayed back away from them and this person asked why I was not up there and I tried to explain but she is a gossip and had to tell someone else and when I said why is she telling everyone else she said I feel bad that you should be going in first. She did not get it or could not understand how I feel about this situation. Most do not and do not care.

Never do the shot. But it helps some people to get it.

Regular flu shot, it is done every year.

I will probably get one sooner or later. It isn't a bad idea although I haven't had the flu for many years now, and most of those I didn't have the shot.

I have an egg allergy, so no flu shot for me. Of course, I have the best flu vaccine imaginable: I’m anti-social.

I did not know that even matters with the flu shot. Learned something new. I could go without it as well. My cats are who I am around the most, and my husband of course.
