I wouldn't either but I have the diabetuuuuus.

which makes a lot of sense to do so. i should, having an auto-immune deficiency disease like crohn's, but i'm healthy as an ox otherwise.

I will, eventually. Not yet since I'm not a priority group. But I figure this is a case where herd immunity will do some good; my sister is diabetic and we've got two family members in the health care field, so it's probably best to make sure no one gets infected in any way.

I would if there weren't a shortage. I'm not going to take it away from someone who needs it more than me. But I believe 100% in vaccination.

I'm a health care worker, and I get the regular flu shot every year. I've never gotten the flu (knock on wood!) but I don't think I'm getting the H1N1. I think it's as safe as the seasonal one but it still makes me nervous. I think I have a pretty good immune system so I'm just going to keep washing my hands fifty times a day!

Planning on it (waiting until the high-risk folks are done). Have every year with no complications. *shrug*
