When are you getting your flu shot?

[ruby412]

Did anyone get their flu shot yet? Is it too soon?

[erniebufflo]

I think it's too soon. We usually do mid-October to mid-November. However, places are just now getting this year's shot. It always makes me so mad when pharmacies start pushing flu shots before mid-September, because it's usually last year's vaccine.

Probably when we go in for his 6 month check up? I have no idea.

Wait, Gisa and Raynes, your pedi will give it to you too?

Seriously? I didn't know they could do that! Yikes.

I get mine in October at work

My work is giving them in mid October.

I haven't even thought about it.

Funny enough, the Army tells DH when he has to get it every year, so when he does, I do. I think it's October he's supposed to.

Quick someone say they won't get it because it gave them the runs last year. Then I can prove that here is not much different than there. :-p

We have the same doctor. Up here in the Great White North it's common practice for the LOs to see a Family Practitioner. Most people don't have pedis. You'd only see one if you needed to.

Ohhhh Canada, you are so interesting. I didn't know this. I'd like to know some other fun Canadian facts. Perhaps that should be a separate thread though...

Oh, I'm not actually getting the flu shot. Cause I don't want to get the flu from it, duh! I was just wondering about everyone else.
