Members overwhelmingly encouraged getting the flu shot when asked whether it was worth it, with many emphasizing that respiratory conditions make the flu especially dangerous and the vaccine offers important protection even if it's not foolproof. Several members shared their personal routines of getting annual flu shots along with pneumonia vaccines and COVID boosters, noting that their doctors strongly recommend all available protections, while a few members expressed hesitation about additional COVID boosters but still planned to get the flu shot. A recurring theme was personal choice balanced with practical caution, with members reminding each other that even imperfect protection is better than none when dealing with compromised health.

I got it one year and watched while the other three guys on my crew suffered with the flu for 2 1/2 weeks. But not me... A really wicked flu that year, too, so kinda made me a believer in it. Already had it this year with no side effects at all

My husband and I both took the flu shot and the latest booster for Covid. No reaction from Covid shot. My arm hurt for a couple of days from the flu. Good luck

I got the flu shot but I teach and am around 125 different 7th grade students everyday. So, in my opinion ever little bit of protection I can get, I’m gonna get.
