So, we have a free flu shot meeting in our office today. You sign off declaring that you are 'legally fit' to get a shot and then go to this meeting and get a shot.

I am ambivalent of getting one. I downloaded the form, set the calender with reminders to get the shot a week ago and then procrastinated about getting the shot. I am not scared or paranoid about getting shots. I grew up surrounded by doctors and hospitals and getting shots was no big deal. I am perfectly okay to get shot, I am just not perfectly okay to this particular shot. Why! The only reason being, that last time I got this shot, it was dreadful! I was sick for a week after the shot. With a day to go down to the forum, I was not about take a risk of falling sick. Another weird thing was that the whole year following the shot, I fell ill more often and just felt more vulnerable. So, after getting the free shot, there is a distinct possibility that I would be sicker all next twelve months or so. Getting sick would make me miserable and that alone is not worth the free shot.

So, after a long debate with myself...... the verdict is in! Flu shot is out!
