Its an educated guess every year, I think they go withthe 3 strains they think it will be. A few yrs ago they guessed wrong and it was messy.

I just want to know why the only time I ever get really sick is when I actually get the flu shot, usually within the first week of getting it too.

Because you are injecting yourself with the flu and a bunch of other shit, some people's immune system doesn't like it. It never bothers me and I get it free at work, so I get one.

same here... Never had the flu... rarely (talking like once or twice every other year) get sick


cept now that I'm forced (military requirement) to get the flu shot... I'm sick for a week after


course this year I had a stroke... so lets hope that's not a side effect
