I got the shingles vaccine a month ago based upon your recommendation but I've never had the flu vaccine, in spite of my pharmacist trying to stick me with one every time she sees me.

I haven't had the flu in over 7 years. I have trepidations as to the flu shot. I don't wish for the shot causing even a mild form of it for me.
