Last year was the first year I ever got a flu shot - and it was mostly because I happened to be in the building when they were giving them out.

A friend in Las Vegas was able to get an H1N1 vaccine for her son (who has a heart condition that puts him at the top of the list) but only after spending 3 hours in a line that she could have lived without. She was especially pissed because, apparently, when first responders were scheduled to get their shots, only 300 showed up.

My mom always gets the flu shot because she has lupus, but I never have. I've never gotten them for the kids, either. Up here, I haven't heard of anywhere that even has the H1N1 vaccine yet, though.

I've never gotten a flu shot, either, and I think I've gotten the flu once. I think I should maybe get it going forward, since I'll be spending more time with my 90 year old grandmother.

The only time I got a flu shot (they were giving them out in the Law School) I swear, I got sicker that year than ever before, so never again. Of course, people keep telling me that sometimes happens, and the next one will be better, but no thanks!

I have never gotten a flu shot and for 3 years I worked in a department that gave them as a business! No one does have the H1N1 in upstate that I know of. No one has much regular vaccine left in Rochester either.

We have a free clinic for the flu shot every year for Gov't employees. I always get it, so I don't end up spreading it to my elderly parents.

"I just remember being strapped down, feeling like I was in a straitjacket, and I just kept taking off the strap, like 'please no, please no', not really understanding everything that was going on," Kourtney said.

But Tiffini repeatedly confronted the paramedics about what she saw as heavy-handed tactics, telling them, "'I called you all to help her but you're being too rough with her. It's almost like you're assaulting her.' As soon as I said that, one of the EMT guys pointed to Kourtney and says, 'you're going to jail.'"

Kourtney says she was dragged down the stairs of her house in handcuffs to a waiting police car.

She was in police custody for nine hours before getting anti-seizure medicine from an ER.

I get the flu shot almost every year and occasionally get sick for a day from it. One of the few years I did not get it, I was sick for over a week and for 4 days I could barely get from one room to the next at my place. I am not seeking out the H1N1 vaccine this year, but would consider getting it if I cam across it being offered.

Yeah, if I got the flu every year, I'd consider it, but it's been years and years. And I suspect if I do get sick this year, it will be H1N1, which is apparently going around here. Half of my coworkers are sick.
