crackymckrackin Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 Never had one and haven't had anything even flu like since I was a little kid.

Front 'bangs' [ if I cut them like that ] are mostly greyish now and the koala ears are back but look more natural than when I was in high school at least. But the hair dresser can't silver all my hair at all. They tried to go full silver last time just to get it over with but it all turned blond-fluff instead. My hair ate their hair dye. I now look like a weird striped pie-bald with yellow tips. It would make for a fascinating look at my wake when I die from lack of flu shot. But it's already planned as a closed casket. That way the giant pot of chili at the wake with a sign saying 'Eat Me' will be extra creepy.

tsar4 Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 How, pray tell, do you mistakenly think it spreads, Typhoid Mary? You carry it into your workplace or class room & spread it by coughing or sneezing or even just talking to someone else. Those droplets you spread around infect others. 1

If you don't get a shot and get ill, you can infect others...sometimes even before you realize you are ill yourself. And the shot alone does not protect people, no matter the age, from getting the flu. It just makes it a lighter case provided it was one of the types of flu going around that season due to the antibodies your system has developed from the dead viruses in the shot.

Since you didn't say "I'm a pharmacist" or "I'm a pharmacist tech", I'll take it that you're somewhat face to face with customers. But it could be that most those folks are past the communicable stage.

K_N Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Yep. I tend to only catch it every 4-5 years but when I do it's generally REALLY nasty so I've started getting the shot in the case I do catch whatever prevalent strain is going around and hopefully don't have to suffer too bad.

Rogue_Alphonse Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 No. I haven't had the flu in 16 years, nor have I had the shot.
Chapinator_X Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 Yes, I try to stay up-to-date on my flu shots just to be safe.

Easy there, chicken little. The proper procedure for not spreading the flu is still the same: if you feel symptoms of a flu, don't expose other people until the symptoms subside.
