From what I understand is that if I am on Fludrocortisone, vaccines are not recommended. I will print that page about the medication (the information about vaccines was not on the print out the pharmacy gave me) and double check with my doctor when I see him in a week or two.

I do not work--I am currently bedridden. I just have always gotten one because my immune system has always been weak (not due to any condition, but I always catch everything!). I tend to have a lot of different people coming over to visit, and of course my mom works full time and is exposed to things that she could give to me.

I will check with my doctor and make sure, but it sounds like I should not be getting the shot after all. Thank you again for bringing my attention to that--I wouldn't have known that if you are on steroids, you shouldn't get shots--if I wouldn't have seen what you said about prednisone! Thank you and take care!
