Every year I get the flu shot I get a terrible case of the flu. Every year I skip it I just end up with a cold or something mild.. or nothing.

Personally, I am not a fan of vaccines. I don't want to just inject stuff into my body because it "might" help protect me from a virus that I "might" get. I am young and my immune system is strong. I'm confident that I will be able to fight off the seasonal flu if I do happen to get it.

As for people in health care, I understand why its mandatory, but I don't think its right. You aren't a risk unless you actually get sick. So why don't they just require that they take sick days if they do get the flu?

I dunno.. its not illegal to not get the flu shot, so why should they have to get one in order to keep their job? Especially if it isn't actually going to do anything.

Doesn't help that I don't like needles. yuck.
