Members overwhelmingly shared that they get their annual flu shot without hesitation, with most reporting only minor side effects like a sore arm or feeling achy for a day or two before returning to normal. Several members mentioned also staying current with pneumonia and shingles vaccines, and one shared how a new doctor encouraged them to get the flu shot despite previous concerns about fibromyalgia side effects, which turned out to be unfounded. A recurring theme was confidence in the flu vaccine based on years of personal experience, though some members expressed caution about a potential COVID-19 vaccine until more safety data becomes available.
