Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Bob I have had one every year and wouldn't be without one. I worked with students who had the flu - just inches away and have never gotten it. laurie > Hi, > I just had the flu and my docter thought of giving me a flu vaccine > next year. > I heard of a lot of bad reactions to this shot. > Is it advisable to take this flu vaccine or just sick it out. > I'm 58 years. > Bob > > > > > > Medical advice, information, opinions, data and statements contained herein > are not necessarily those of the list moderators.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I get a flu shot every year, as well as the pneumonia vaccine when it is due for me. This has helped me out a lot with respiratory issues the past 10 years.

I heard of a lot of bad reactions to this shot. Is it advisable to take this flu vaccine or just sick it out. I'm 58 years. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Hi Bob Just this one data point from me: I'm 56 with MERRF and MSL (Multiple Symmetrical Lipomatosis), many neuro symptoms and severe exercise intolerance. I had the flu shot (and pneumonia as well) and I was just fine.
