Flu shots; your thoughts?
I have never gotten a flu shot in the past and I am even more hesitant now that I have PD. It seems the slightest thing will exacerbate my symptoms and I worry about the impact of a flu shot on my PD. I have heard it can give you a slight cold, however, when I had a cold last winter, I felt horrible. Have you gotten a flu shot? If so, how did it impact you? If not, why did you not get a flu shot?

I get a flu shot every September, with no side effects or colds. I’ve noticed no changes to my Parkinson’s symptoms after getting the shot.

I get a flu shot annually. I’m now get the stronger one for people over 65. Even with that one, I’ve never had a problem or reaction of any kind.

I have gotten flu shots since the beginning of flu shots. I have never been sick from getting a flu shot, and I don’t believe they make you sick, unless you are already sick, or at the beginning of getting sick. I have Parkinson’s, and I got my shot about three weeks ago. I did not even have a sore arm, but it was red where the shot was given.
