While this was said in a way that only Dionysus can so I can't claim the exact wording, I'll ditto it anyway. While I know that sex isn't the only way to contract the virus, it's a big part of it and that's not an issue for me. Plus, I've been a little anti-vaccine lately. I've never had a flu shot and do not intend to get one--every time my parents get a flu shot, they end up with the flu. Not the mini-flu that comes with being injected with the virus but the full-blown-knock-down-drag-out-this-is-what-was-trying-to-avoid flu. Vaccines don't always work, not even with decades of research and trials behind them. I'd rather take every other precaution and just leave the weird injections to someone else until there's more proof in the pudding.

My daughter is outside of the age range, but even if she wasn't I wouldn't want her to get the vac. There are too many disclaimers and qualifiers.
