I was in HS and got the shot. I remember all the hype: “we’ll FORCE you to get the shot... yada, yada,”
More people died from the shot than from the Swine Flu.
I never took another Flu vaccination.
Ehh, I usually get the flu vaccine but skipped it last fall at my doctor’s office since it had a preservative in it I get a bad reaction to. Wasn’t worried since I hadn’t had the flu in more than 10 years. January rolls around and I get a really bad strain of influenza A. Attacked my lungs, heart and other organs. The doctors could not identify the sub type. Almost killed me. After two weeks in the hospital and another 3 weeks home recovery I went to Wal-mart and got their free flu vaccine. Refrigerated and no preservatives. No reactions either.
