The flu shot, 2008/2009... not so good?

Credit: Science & Health News


No kidding! I know of three people, the poor Mich included, who've had their shot and have full blown flu! Vomiting, dizziness, coughing, 102 fever and assorted ills. I do realize that there are many, many strains of flu... but surely, there's got to be a better way than tossing a dart at a board? Talking to my friends, everyone, knows someone with the flu. Apparently it's going through the schools, like wild fire

My son who is 6 got the flu shot in late 2008. He has on his 4th fever this year. I have never seen such a thing. And he isn't the only one, my nephew has had a simmilar experiance(they don't have much contact). Last year he didn't get the flu shot and was only sick 1 time all season. Go figure; we won't be getting it again.

Hi and thanks for reading my blog and for the comment.

My daughter and I get the shot every year and until this year, it worked! She does work in a pharmacy so she's exposed more than most.

Hope your son is feeling better!
