Yeah I had one a couple years ago they do hurt don't like needles although once its in I'm fine it's before hand I get nervous lol but if it decreases the risks for me and my unborn then ill have it because thee are great benefits I'm sure I can stand a little bit of soreness in order to keep us both healthy :) thanks everyone :)

I had it and was fine afterwards other than a sore arm. My children all had flu but I didn't catch it so Im glad I had it!

Benefits outweigh the risk of getting the flu. I would recommend getting one.

My doctor recommended getting the flu shot. But I won't get it because they just make me super sick. It's like getting a shot on purpose to get the flu for me.
