Get the flu shot and the pneumonia shot if needed! Get my shots every year. No problems!

Had one 2 weeks ago when I had my doctor visit. She recommended it, and was a little skeptical, due to all the negative things i've heard. I was very surprised, I did not feel sick at all. Not the first day, or now the 16th day. I'm glad I had one. If you have COPD, then yes, you should have one.

I always get the flu shot. Pneumonia shot as well every time a new strain is introduced or added. Because both shots are "killed" viruses, the risk is very low. Getting the flu or pneumonia is very dangerous for me.

Missing last years flu shot was a big mistake. I've never had a flu shot that made me Ill but that missed shot almost killed me. I was in quarantine so Ill. It flu shot for me this year even if I do feel a little ill after it won't be like the real thing.
