It's even more of a decision this year because there will be two different flu shots -- one for the seasonal flu, which is the flu that they expect to be prevalent each winter, and another for the swine flu. The seasonal flu shots became available in some areas of the country today. The swine flu (H1N1) shots won't be available for another month or so.
I haven't had flu shots in the past, and probably won't this year. I tend to be more susceptible to winter colds (ugh) than the flu (knock on wood). But I admit that the swine flu possibility gave me something new to think about. If I was in one of the recommended groups I would probably give it serious thought, even though it seems to be a relatively mild strain of flu for most people.
