No Chuck, the replaced it with rat poison. 

Who knows? You can always elect to chance getting the flu. Just pray it's not the 1918 stuff.

Hey no joke! If you have not had one, you REALLY want it! I have a friend who suffered with the things and the word suffer is the right word!

When I got mine Medicare would not cover it and it was a couple hundered bucks (as I recall) but I'd do it again in a New York minute.

(But as you said, you have a metal roof so should be safe)  Laughing. God, if you only as smart as you are funny!  Razz

No, they put the rat poison in the blood thinner, Warfarin.

Seriously (if possible) tell us about your concerns with flu shots. The word awaits your information.

Seriously!  Do it!  My Dad got shingles... it's not good!  We have KP insurance and ours were totally free, but I hear it's spendy.  Sometimes... the money is worth it!  This is one of those times.

I hope so. Medicare would not pay for mine. I gladly paid out of pocket becaue I know of someone who suffered from it.

Is it just a shingle shot, or do you have to get jabbed twice?
