I used to be anti-flu shot but then about 3 years ago I got the flu and it was an absolute nightmare. I was sick for over a week and lost 15 lbs. I understand how people die from it. I was a perfectly healthy 20 something and I WANTED to die. Ugh. So, after that I decided to get it each year since it is offered at no cost to me.
DH still refuses even though he had the flu about 5 years ago. He has a lot of Kestra's concerns. I do to, but it is not worth it again for me personally to go through the flu when the risks of the shot seem to be minor.
