I never got them right up until I caught H1N1. That knocked me on my ass for 3-4 weeks, and I wasn't really right for another six months. Gave me some respect for the bug.

So I get them now. Probably a good idea anyway since I work with kids, the public, and all. I do get a mild reaction from it, but it's not enough to really slow me down for that couple of days.

This year I got a T-DAP at the same time. No complications with even the two. I'm too young, not a smoker, and only pre-diabetic, so they won't give me the pneumonia one.
