I haven't any reservations about the shot. Each of us has to do what they think is best. I have gotten the regular flu shot for the past few years and had no problems. I am willing to risk it. If you don't feel comfortable with it, then by all means, don't get it.

My Mom, who is in her late 80's will be getting the series of shots too.

There can be complications with any shots. I know someone how lost partial use of his arm, because the injection went a little too far to the right/left. There are risks with lots of things relating to medicine.

I am about ready to have major surgery in a month, and all I can think about is what could go wrong!

Oh, I have never had the flu..... so I am not sure why I feel so great about getting the shot! Let me go check on my reasoning!
