Nobody Wants To Get Sick But Plenty Of People Are Still Avoiding Flu Shots
Who wants the flu this year? No one? That’s what we thought. So how come lots of people — especially those most at risk for getting sick — aren’t going in for flu shots? Health experts aren’t sure, they just know that flu shots are somewhat of a hard sell lately. And those who most need one, pregnant women and health care workers, aren’t showing up to get vaccinated as much as they should.
New numbers on immunizations in this country show that fewer than half of pregnant women got vaccinated in 2011, and only two-thirds of health care workers opted for the flu shot, reports NBC News.
Public health officials are the biggest pushers of the shots, but combined with the fact that it’s hard in some places to get the vaccine and mild flu seasons convincing people they’ll be fine without it is producing low numbers.

Flu shots win the award for the most useless vaccine on the market is why.
I use to get the flu shot but last year they put the H1 in it also and I do not want that. We use to have a choice and when they took the choice away I opted out.
i dont get the shots simply because i don't know what they are really injecting us with! lol..if the flu shot benefited us any! they sure wouldnt give them to us for free.
Who the heck knows what the Obama administration is putting into the shot.
Who gets them for free? Are you one of those people who sucks off the system?
Can you think of a better way to get rid of old people. Obama will take care of us non muslims.
12:22 Harris Teeter was one place that I know of where shots were basically free. How it worked was you paid for the shot and used your bonus club card. Then they fully reimbused you with a coupon for the full amount of the shot to use at the store. The shot was like 12 bucks or some other minimal amount. I saw this last year. Not sure if they are doing it again this year.
Flu shot, another great example of good marketing successfully brain washing america.
Mind control juice and micro chipping...Plus all the other crap ingredients found last year.
The last time I got a flu shot I got sick.Whether or not the shot caused that is anyones guess.
Just say no
