With the whole vaccine crap, if I should decide to have a poop and puke smelling bundle of joy; I'd be first in line for all the vaccines. Women should have them while pregnant (Like the one for whooping cough, which is surprising that women aren't having it), and the kids should have them before they are subjected to the nasty ******* viruses out there.

To be fair, I have never had a flu vaccine in my life, haven't had the flu, and I've just turned 20.
It's all up to the parent, but I'm glad I never had one. It would have been a waste of money.

Well flu is a virus that mutates at a fast rate, your body is pretty good at fighting stuff like colds and flu off by itself.
People who are old, or have immune system problems are encouraged to get the flu vaccine, but I assume you're a healthy 20 year old guy so something like the flu wouldn't be an immediate threat.

But stuff like whooping cough, measles, mumps and rubella in young children is dangerous.

I know right? All those soccer moms go on about is how much worse a few cases of autism is than widespread polio.
