Yeah, my physician snuck it in on me.  I went in for a script refill and he said, "Wait right there.  One of my nurses will be right with you."

Considering how bad I was down with the flu last year, I was going to anyway (I think).

When Larry was in the Army, he had to get the shot. Me on the other hand didn't get it.  I always got a cold soon after and blamed him for it.  Then I tried to make sure when he got the shot, he would be heading out for TDY, so he wouldn't spread the flu germs.  Well, it took just one time of me getting the flu, and living to tell about it. I have never been so sick in my life. It's a yearly thing for me now.

Got it 1st week of October when I went for my ongoing allergy shots (stinging insects (honeybees, mixed vespids, etc.).  Got 4 shots instead of the usual 3.

I consider the shot a small price to pay against the flu - had it once 10 years ago, hope I never get it again; I was bedridden for 3 weeks (losing 20 pounds was the only upside,though it came right back and then some once I was able to keep food down again).

I dont' get the fu shot although my DH does get the shot, gets sick from it and I get sideswiped by it every year
