Yes..and I wasn't planning to take the first response and do what they say. I look into everything and research it to it's death almost... so I was just looking for opinions. Someone out there may know something that I haven't learned yet.
After I posted this, I read that this year's flu shots have the H1N1 vaccine in them--it's a combined shot, seasonal and H1N1. That makes me a lot less likely to get the shot--I don't think it has been researched enough. I did get the seasonal flu shot last year, but not the H1N1--I supposedly had H1N1, so there was no need for the shot, even though I didn't want to get it.
I am seeing my family doctor on Tuesday, so I plan to ask him about it, if I remember. There's still time, obviously. Was just looking to see what others thought and how others handle it.
I did have a reaction to a flu shot once, but it just made the injection site swell and harden for a few weeks--then it went away. Other than that, I've gotten it every year since I was a baby (I'm 24) and haven't had a problem. The H1N1 part is what makes me more nervous.
