But the regular ol' flu shot. No.

Sorry, its one of my pet peeves.

You mean you don't have the flu vaccine in that big 'ol BAG O DRUGS you have?

Like BetaRose, I got the flu after getting the flu shot. I always get the flu the week between Christmas and New Year's. Going on five years now...it never fails!
