Take Care.
Several years ago, there were two strains for the flu going around. I had already gotten the flu shot but it only covered one strain...I got the other strain of the flu. I seriously thought I was gonna die. My husband said I looked like death. I NEVER want to go thru that again. They (medical professionals) have said over and over that the flu shot cannot make you sick. If you get the flu shortly after getting the shot, that means you were already exposed to it. Having a compromised immune system could make it harder to get over the flu.

Completely your choice though
