Goodness, so sorry to hear your reaction!!! I debate should I or shouldn't I get the vaccine each year.... Last year, I hesitated, but I did.. and did have an exacerbation of my symptoms.... this year, I'm planning on getting it again I think... I have a really really hard time when I get sick..


I have two small kids who get sick often due to preschool, and then I work around sick people.... sooo I will be getting exposed to it... I just debate.. is the flu itself or the vaccine worse... and then even worse case - do I have a reaction to the flu vaccine, and it still doesnt' protect me!! ahh (I hear getting IVIG can make it less effective too - anyone else heard that?) stinkin germs!
