I had the flu once without a vax and nearly died. I've also had it with a vax and while it was still rough I was back to work within a week. Get the flu shot while you still can, trust me. It's not like getting a cold. - ThreadSky

Gonna drop this offer again: the flu looks brutal this year. Vaccines can help so much, but I know they can be hard. CVS will let you book an appointment online, and the will often come out to your car to give you the shot if necessary.

If you need help finding one or paying, TELL US!

Missed six days of work with the flu in the early ’90s. Have never been so sick in my life. Four days of full-body aches. Haven’t missed a flu shot since.

Yeah, the flu shot I get yearly now. Have to plan more carefully with covid boosters though, cause I get my fibromyalgia flare ups super bad every time for a few days😵‍💫

I skipped my flu shot twice and got the flu twice. Walking to the pharmacy in the snow for flu meds, I wanted to lie down on the sidewalk and die. I'll never not get the flu shot again.

The flu with a vaccine is a months long recovery for me. Horrible. Like you, with my vax it was about a week last year.

Got the flu a few weeks ago, I didn't treat it seriously enough and it evolved into a pneumonia secondary infection. Sickest I've been in my life, it was so much worse than COVID was for me.

I was lucky & only got a mild case -- & I was down for a week. like sure, even if covid WERE just the flu, THE FLU SUCKS WHY WOULD YOU WANT THAT.

Anyone saying covid was just like the flu has never had the flu without a vax bc that shit is brutal.

I caught the flu when I was working retail. I felt like I’d been hit by a bus. It even hurt to blink. And I was young and in relatively good shape. One of the worst illnesses of my life. No thank you, I never miss a flu shot now.

I caught mine on a date. Was out of work for almost a month and dropped so much weight because I could barely eat. Couldn't speak for a week. Nearly died in the ER bc it trigger my asthma. No thank you, not again.
