I used to have to get the flu shot every year as part of my employment conditions. The shot itself always made me ill for a few days (got worse every year and my mentioning of this to my doctor was blown off), and then whether it would actually keep me from getting the flu was always a crapshoot.
When I do get sick, I always handle it with Robitussin, lots of fluids, and lots of sleep.
It's kind of funny that they make such a big stink about how many people die from the flu every year while pushing the shots, but if you come down with it, you get told "Come to work, you aren't THAT sick."
