I got a flu shot for the first time, this year. Also got the pneumonia vaccine. I wouldn’t have done so, except that I was going in for a cardiac catheter ablation the day before Thanksgiving, and wanted to make sure that I wouldn’t be susceptible to those diseases when I was recuperating. My hubby, SirKit’s right hemi diaphragm is paralyzed, reducing his lung function, so he didn’t want to have to deal with any respiratory diseases either. Neither of us had any difficulties at all with either vaccine.

I’ve tried them twice. My hubby twice. We got sick.
Perhaps if I was still working in a Hospital setting, I would risk it.
We homeschool, no daycare, one of us working. I don’t feel it’s worth the risk for us.
