I have had only 1 Flu shot in my 82 years of life and no Covid shots. I have had the Flu around 6 times in my life, and I get over it. I also have stage 4 COPD and I'm doing ok with it. I thank God for every day He gives me.
I don't want any shots!
I was diagnosed with COPD in 2014 but always got my vaccines years before that. They helped me to have less bouts of the flu ever since and will never stop getting the flu shot and COVID shots as long as necessary.
Hi! Personally, I would highly recommend getting the flu shot. I get the flu shot every year and somehow still got the flu and developed pneumonia that got me hospitalized the past two flu seasons. Had I not I would have been in much worse shape. You may still develop the flu but it certainly will lessen the severity!
I normally have gotten a flu shot and haven't had any difficulties with it. Also haven't gotten the flu.
I get a flu shot every year and also the Covid shot as my lung doctor advises me too so I think it's a good idea. I know some people do and some don't but everyone has to make a decision for themselves and I don't believe that it should be forced on you or that you should lose your job if you don't get it. I felt bad for the people in Whitehorse that lost their jobs for not getting the shot, that is just wrong. I hope everyone is happy and healthy and is gung ho for another winter. Take care
