Not only am I exposed every day to college students, I also have a 7 month old daughter in daycare with some wicked germs. I was just joking with my husband that she had a cold for 24 hours 1 1/2 weeks ago, and we still are battling it.

I will probably get the shot, but I just wanted to know what others thoughts were. Like a said earlier, I already checked with my MO and he was neither opposed to me having it or telling me that I needed it. His exact words were,, "Go about doing routine things like you have done in the past". My conflict was that I never had one in the past. I pressed him on it and he said, "It probably wouldn't be a bad idea".

Like I said, a lukewarm response at best.
