No flu shots for me, H1N1 or seasonal. I think they're perfectly safe and all for most people, it's just that I (along with my doctors) believe that because I'm not in a high risk category, I can take the risk of going without the vaccine. There have been instances where - live virus or not - a flu vaccine has precipitated MS disease activity in some patients.

And no, I don't have any links to share on that, I just know that Randall Shapiro made reference to it at a seminar I attended and we (my family doc and neurologist) generally subscribe to his school of thought when it comes to MS.
