Ever Have A Bad Reaction To Flu Shot?

[lizbud]

The first two winters I was here in SoCal I did not get my usual flu shot and was sick with URI most of the winter -- after having gone four years in Chicago without a single cold. So this year I got my shot while it was still restricted to elderly and something else (asthma qualifed me...not elderly )

My arm was a little sore if I thought about it but it is so worth it to me!

p.s. You cannot get the flu from a flu shot -- it is NOT a live virus...

Sara, was the vaccine restricted in California this year? This year was
supposed to be one of the first years where the vaccine will be available
to everyone. There is plenty of it, for once.

P.s. K9Karen, I've never had a pneumonia shot. I didn't ever feel like it
was necessary.

Perhaps it was just my doctor who was conserving his supply?
