"get a flu shot now and receive a free set of ginzu knives"
"get a flu shot today and we'll pay your mortgage!"
Considering the fact that nothing is free in this country, this is all a little creepy. I've never gotten a flu shot in my life. My husband received his first flu shot last year and wound up in the ER with horrid nerve pain in his leg and swelling in his knee that didn't go away for months and the doctors were at a complete loss as to what happened to him.
My advice is that if you work in health care or are a teacher, you have to get one. If you're in a high risk group of developing complications from the flu, get one. But if you're otherwise healthy? I wouldn't get one if they were paying me to.
