So here this is what happened to me and the taking the flu shot.
I took my elderly parents to get their flu shots on Friday morning since they take it every year.
This is how it went:
My Mom: Bai Yuji, you neva took the flu shot and you pass 50 now, you should tek it.
My dad: If Yuji neva took de flu shot and he claims that he is not getting sick why force him to tek it ?
Me: I usually post at a blog and majority of posters do not take it.
My Mom: You should listen to me because I know what's best for you. Other people is not your mom and dad.
Me: Silent
This flu shot thing has been on my mind for a while now and around 12:30 p.m on Friday, I just walked into a Shoppers here in Vaughan, gave them my health card and filled out the form and took the flu shot for the first time in my life after my mom insisted that I took it.
They asked me to wait for 10 mins to ensure that I do not have any reaction to the shot, I did not.
Around 4:30 pm, I started to have a headache and by 6:30, I felt as sick as a dog. I was sick all day today and I finally started to feel better now.
I am now wondering if I made the right choice or not, time will tell since I will have to see what happens this winter in terms of catching or combatting the flu.
