I had the Asian Flu in 1957. It was a doozy. I had the Hong Kong flu at the end of 1968; it was a real doozy, and I was 6 1/2 months pregnant. I'm sure it went thru my blood stream to the baby. The baby, now a man, was just fine. They told me that it was good that I was that far along.
In the 1990's I had what they called the AZ Crud. That was something else. Not really a flu, just something a person can get when you are out in that desert dust, etc. Many had it then.
My Mom got vaccinated for the Swine Flu in 1976 when that is what they called it. She was fine but a couple of friends of ours were not fine. They both got GB after they were vaccinated. Not good at all. Life was never the same. Now of course the H1N1 flu is not the same as the Swine Flu back then. It is different.
However, I will not be getting any flu vaccines and I never have. Of course, there were none for the flu's I had. And those two were and are considered Pandemics. One year they said that if you had had the Hong Kong flu, you had immunity to whatever type of flu they were vaccinating for. Probably true. I just try to stay away from obviously sick people or not, and wash, wash, wash my hands. I don't like colds either and I have not had very many of them.
