Well folks it’s that time of year again. Flu season. Yuck! Now I’m a 40 something female and rarely get the flu or bad cold for that matter. Now my insurance company sent me a coupon for a free seasonal flu shot but not for the H1N1 a/k/a Swine Flu. So my question to all my friends and family is, “should I get the flu shot”? I am sure a doctor will tell me to get the shot.
But hey if you rarely get sick and work from home, what is the point? Granted I am not the young chick I used to be 
What would you do? Would you once again chance the flu season and skip the shot or walk up, stick out your arm and get the stick! Ouch!
Well I will have to think on this one as I am leaning towards NO I don’t want the shot.
Let me know what you all think, should I or shouldn’t I?

Great website!
This is a very interesting question that I am sure we have all pondered at one time or another. Personally, I don’t bother getting the flu shot. First of all, they are guessing at which 3 strains will be spread around this year so just because you have the flu shot does not necessarily protect you from the flu (granted, it may help if one of those three strains is attacking people). I am not a big fan of adding flu strains to my body. I would rather get the flu and have my own body build the proper anti-bodies. I look at it as exercise for my white blood cells. Granted, I don’t get the flu very often so maybe that is why I think the flu shot is a waste of time.
In my opinion, if you are healthy and don’t usually get the flu then why introduce these flu strains into your body for nothing?
Good luck with your decision adn be sure to let us know if you went through with it or not.
By the way, great blog! I will definitely be back often!
