I don't really ever see anyone, so I'm all set haha! Great point though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-gotten-a-flu-shot-this-season#post-491381 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:39:27 +0000 Alivoo01 491381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My work covers the flu shot every year so I get it. Hubby didn't and he caught it on Monday. He feels like he's dying!</p> <p>@mrbee: The flu shot takes 10 days before it becomes completely effective so stay away from people that currently have it, just in case! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-gotten-a-flu-shot-this-season#post-491380 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:39:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 491380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: I was the same way-- I'd get it or not, depending on how easy it was, but didn't really care, then I actually GOT the flu and holy cow! It was awful. Now I make a point to. </p> <p>I got it this year while TTC since I know the flu is extra bad for pregnant women. Reading the reports about how bad it is, I just suggested that DH go get it-- he never does but he better not be bringing the germs home to his pregnant wife this year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-gotten-a-flu-shot-this-season#post-491360 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:35:15 +0000 mrsjazz 491360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never had a flu shot or the flu, but seeing all the news reports about how many people are getting the flu is making me nervous. I want my husband to have it because he's around kids all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-gotten-a-flu-shot-this-season#post-491359 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:34:23 +0000 Springtime 491359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I have!

Luckily LO and I were perfectly fine while he was curled up in a ball upstairs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-gotten-a-flu-shot-this-season#post-491258 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:11:27 +0000 edelweiss 491258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, the preservative free one. i didn't get the flu shot for many years but one year i came down with the flu and was absolutely miserable. it's no joke and 20x worse than a cold--i get the flu shot every year now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-gotten-a-flu-shot-this-season#post-491234 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:03:35 +0000 Smurfette 491234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I both, doctor's orders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-gotten-a-flu-shot-this-season#post-491228 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:01:09 +0000 lovehoneybee 491228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, both me and DH got one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-gotten-a-flu-shot-this-season#post-491212 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 12:58:24 +0000 BoogieBea 491212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never get the flu shot.

After watching the nightly news last night, I decided I should. I did not think about the fact that I was still breastfeeding. I am glad I saw your post to know I need to find a preservative free shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-gotten-a-flu-shot-this-season#post-491146 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 12:34:11 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 491146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-gotten-a-flu-shot-this-season#post-491144 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 12:32:43 +0000 autumnlove 491144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, preservative free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-gotten-a-flu-shot-this-season#post-491141 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 12:31:54 +0000 tororojo 491141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did!

Apparently the flu this season is horrible:</p> <p><a href="http://www.google.org/flutrends/us/#US" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.org/flutrends/us/#US</a></p> <p>That stirred me out of my laziness and I just got a flu shot! They didn't have any preservative-free shots though, so Mrs. Bee couldn't get a shot (she's still bfing).</p> <p>Have you gotten a flu shot this season? </p>
