Get the freaking flu shot bc there is zero - and I mean zero - downside to doing so. Is it super effective against this strain of flu? Who knows. It doesn’t matter. The point is the flu is bad, and possibly without the shot I could have had a hospitalized kid.

I do not understand what is wrong with this country that this thread has become about the 2 seconds it takes to get stuck by a small needle and not about the highly aggressive disease it is designed to mitigate. Grow up, as a nation. [/quote]

I think you don't realize how hard it is for a lot of people to get a flu shot. I have Kaiser and can only get a flu shot with an appt at a Kaiser shot clinic. The closest center is 30 min each way from me, making 5 appts in a row for my kids and us is challenging, and the times offered are limited. This year I just gave up on Kaiser and paid $35 a person to get a flu shot at the pharmacy near me, but that's $175 and a lot of money to most people. I wish I could just go to close by places like everyone else is able to.

People without insurance also will have trouble getting a flu shot. [/quote]

BS. I got a free shot at my GROCERY STORE. And a coupon for groceries. All the drug stores are free flu shots. Work places set up free shot clinics. There is very obviously a wider group benefit to this and you are just spreading misinformation.[/quote]
