I've had novocaine, had blood taken, had IV's for 2 surgeries, and had dye-type stuff put into me for MRI's ... but no 'shots of stuff as treatment or prophylactic', including Flu shots.

And I've not spent a day in bed sick in almost 35 years. At least, not from any infectious organism.

Edit: Oh, wait ... I was laid out for the equivalent of a day as I waited in hospital to get my appendix removed, which I suppose is some kind of infection. Might've gotten an antibiotic shot for that.
