What is pissing you off this time?

I'm an asthmatic (mild now but severe as a child)

I had really bad flu once, before they used to offer flu prevention to children. After that......

1) I realize so many people think a bad cold is the flu, they really have no idea

2) I've gotten the shot every year and not had the flu since. I rarely get any after-effects of the shot but if I do, it's really nothing serious compared to the real thing.

Now we all have to get the flu shot to protect beest's compromised immunity. And none of us have caught the flu, but hard to tell if that's because of the shot because none of my kids ever had the flu before they got the shots
