(57,349 posts)I wonder what the most popular excuse to not get the shot this year will be...
1) Gives you the flu
2) Doesn't work
3) I get colds all the time and I'm fine so I don't need it*
*This is the actual excuse used by my s/o's sister in law who is a nurse, I kid you not - she works in a hospital and never gets the flu shot.

(22,340 posts)I told her I got my shot so they are out and she should get hers. She said the only year she got the shot she got the flu. I asked her when she had the flu. She meant the stomach flu. I said "you know that's not the type of flu the shot is for, right." She just shrugged and said "oh."

My s/o's mother is also a nurse and tries to convince her to get the vaccine very year.
