the seasonal flu shot? and or the H1N1 vaccine?

i have NEVER got the seasonal flu shot cause to be quite honest i have NEVER gotten the flu either...

well i was in a huge debate if i should vaccinate my family for the H1N1 flu... we have had several people around here have it and that scares me.. but hearing all the horror stories on tv scared me too.. so i just called my dr and talked to her ( I trust her with my families life) and she highly recommend me and Makayla to get it for sure since we both have health issues.. so we went and got it.. I hope I made the right decision..

I got them both and I am glad you did too.  I get the flu shot every year and so did the kids until last year.  They were considered too healthy.  I work with old people so I get it every year and the facility pays for it.  This year I was young enough to get the H1N1 too.  The kids got the flu shot and KC got is boosters for college.  The kids and I have also gotten the pneumonia shot and Hepatitis B shots.  I believe in them but Tim doesn't and so he won't get any of them.  Yes, he doesn't like needles.

No, not yet, my son got the pnemonia and flu shots when he was 1 and 2, because the dr. said he had to have it.

I haven't gotten any of the vaccines for the kids, my son just had influenza at the begining of oct. I'm not sure what I am going to do at this point.
