Answer #1

yeah,, I just got the Flu Mist today… I didn’t really want to. I like the flu :C

Answer #2

no you r not to young. there are babies who are even getting the flu shot so if you want get it. but whenever I got the flu shot I got the flu, but when I didnt I didnt get the flu so do what you like

Answer #3

nope not at all you can get the flu shot at any age, from what I know! and for what penguin1818 has said, the reason that you still catch the flu is because, viruses and bacteria develop real quickly… and when one person has a certain type of bacteria (flu) and a person has another… then it combines to make a new one - and you so happen to catch that new one… the shot you might have taken most likely isn’t covered to protect you against this new virus! so yeaaa… it’s kinda worthless in my oppinion to take the flu shot. - if you drink pleanty of fluids and dress appropriatly for the weather… you’ll most likely be fine! (: but it’s entirely up to you!

Answer #4

I know people who are like 12 and got it

Answer #5

Nope! I’m 19 and I’ve been getting it for quite a while.

Answer #6

No, I am 20 and get it every year. You may actually get the Flu Mist instead, which is where they have a solution that is sprayed into your nose. It has the same effect of the shot but without a needle.
