Did any of you get flu shots?


Yep we get all relevant shots and immunisations. They’re free here so it would be silly not to.


They're close enough to free for me here, but I've never had the flu so the time/potential side effects aren't worth it for me.


Herd immunity is important too. Not everyone, and especially those most vulnerable to flu, can get vaccinated so helping keep it down in the general population helps.

If this is going to be your theory, mind explaining how this works?

My understanding was that the flu vaccines use inactive bits of the flu viruses selected for the vaccines.

I don’t understand how inactive bits of a virus can cause infection?
