2. I didn't get one
I was going to but now they are out of the vaccine where I was going to get it. I hardly leave my house or see other people anyway.

3. Hey, be thankful that you got one
Many doctors and clinics are out and the manufacturer doesn't have any left. Twenty bucks or no, you're one of the lucky ones.

4. Paid $15 for mine
I got it early November back before it was known this was a nasty strain or there were shortages. I feel kind of bad getting it since I'm a healthy 24 year old male and I'm not exactly one of the "at risk" groups and we're running out... but I didn't really know at the time :(.

8. If you knew were coming down with the flu, and a guy said...
"Y'know, for $20 I can make that disappear," it might seem like a small price to pay.

So, just imagine you did this *before* you got the flu.

(I had to make a $20 co-pay for my flu shot, so I'm in the same boat, Swede.)

Here's to a flu-free season -- :toast:

10. I paid $20 apiece for ours, but half subsidizes shots for the poor.
The Visiting Nurses Association does that. And the $10 is tax deductable.

:D
