I'm seeing lots of threads about flu shots and thought this quiz might help some of you out. It's fantastic. I am absolutely getting the flu shot. I never did before getting pregnant, but now that I have a son and have learned more about it, I'll always get it.

Haha, for the question 'What part of the face do people touch most frequently' I was touching my lips at the time, so that's what I answered! Guess I'm a statistic 
I got 6 right, but those were still just lucky guesses.
I never got the flu shot before, but now with a baby in the house, I'm not just risking my health. I will probably get the shot this year

Haha I totally failed this quiz - got a 3.
I usually get flu shots, and will continue to get them. This winter I was the sickest I've been in a while (no flu, but 3 bugs with fever and vomiting, etc) but I'm not blaming the flu shot, and if I (hopefully!) get pregnant this winter I'll be glad I got the shot!

I. Did. Terrible.
I already planned on all four of us getting the flu shot, but this quiz is interesting!

I got four right! And the whole family is getting the flu shot! Xander already got his!

That was bad, only 3 right. R got the flu shot with her 6 month shots last week. DH and I are getting it sometime soon.

I think I got 3 too. I've given the quiz to all of my students (I teach HS). I was really glad to know that the flu virus will die on my hands by the time I get home from work since my commute is half an hour, but I'd really like to know exactly how long it can live on my clothes or hair! I'm so paranoid about getting my former 25-weeker sick.

Geez.... I only got 5 right!
BTW have you guys seen the video they talked about? We watched it at work a few years ago (when I did infectious disease work) and it's HILARIOUS.

Oy, I only got 3!
But we'll both get flu shots in the next few weeks, and will schedule one for E as well. Do you think November would be too late (that's when his next scheduled appointment is...).
He didn't get one last year because he wasn't old enough until flu season was pretty much over, he's not in day care, and DH and I both got one, but he'll get one this year. DH got BAD sick with the flu last year, even after getting a flu shot, but he wasn't nearly as bad off as his co-workers who got the same flu but not a flu shot (2 days out of work as opposed to a week...)

I just wanted to bump this in relation to the blog post about flu today.

I got a 3. I need to get a flu shot. I never have in years past, but with a 6 month old in the house I feel like I need to.

@cmomma17: I didn't start until I was pregnant, but now I feel like it's essential.
