Since a baby, I've only had a tetanus once. (No other vaccines, personal choice)

My husband also works at cendant, but he works night shift.

I hate needles too but I have to get one every year. I do get them for free as well due to my ongoing health problems. At least I get something out of being sick lol!

Theres just something about injecting yourself WITH the flu to avoid it that kinda bugs me lol...so I guess the answer would be no...never... ;)

Worked cxl'ed ours...not sure why but they did.

We were not getting ours for free but they were worth paying for...now I need to find some place to get mine done.

I think callcenters and places where people are working close together should be getting a shot.

Hey Trey, that sucks, try your family doctor, I know mine does them for 10 bucks.

Just thought I would pass this on..I work at Eddie Bauer and we got our flu shots and had to pay for them but its 100% worth it as I never want to get the flu that is going around.My family dr is charging $20 but again its totally worth it.

I have been getting mine every year foe the last 7 years and have only gotten the flu once. It was only a 24 hour virus at that....but it was a doozy! My fever was so high I thought the cat was talking to me!
I don't even really get colds anymore.

I've been getting the flu shot the past 2 years. For someone that gets everything that goes around, definitely worth it, but I got mine free too.

They have never proven that the flu shot works. I won't be a guinea pig.

The difference of having a flu shot and not is , "if" u get the flu ,after having the shot it usually lasts up to 5 days as opposed to not having the shot and getting the flu it lasts approx up to 7 days overall.
Never had the shot and don't intend on getting one . I agree with Tiffany.

I haven't had a flue shot in years and I haven't had the flu, Coincidentally the only year I got the flu is when I got the flu shot! So I have never bothered with it since. Probably works for some people but definitely not me!
