I’ve never gotten the flu shot and I’ve never gotten the flu. It may have something to do with the military rebuilding my immune system when I was a kid, I don’t know. I keep my hands clean, avoid touching inanimate objects if I don’t have to and generally stay healthy. It’s worked well so far.

Every ten years since the ‘70’s, one or another gov’t agency has given me the full scope of vaccinations for typhoid, cholera, hepatitus, yellow fever, the list goes on—I have been certified for worldwide travel for almost 30 years. Except for childhood and alcohol-induced illnesses, I have never been bed-ridden sick, just low grade stuff that lasts no more than 18-24 hours. I think a “well-exercised” immune system has had something to do with it.

I am in the same boat(fingers crossed) and plan on waiting till I get it at least once before I get the shot, or i am at a more vunerable age,..

I figure ‘if it aint broke...’

Very difficult to tell how well these things work.
