    Worst flu I ever had was about a month after getting a flu shot many, many moons ago.

    Stopped getting the shot and have rarely been sick since. YMMV.

    Me too. Until this year.

    I had my flu shot last October

    Did it make a difference?

    I haven't had the flu. I've never had the flu in a year in which I got the shot.

    I still get the shots more for others than myself (old parents, young grandchildren, exposure to patients on fire calls). I still end up sick every year. The effectiveness of the shot is generally poor, with this year being the worst yet. I’ve read 10% effective.
