Guest guest Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I get the flu shot every year. I've never had any issues with it (nor do I know anyone who's had a problem with it). My coworkers and are are especially good about getting it because we have another coworker who's daughter was diagnosed with cancer at 4 years old. If she got so much as a sniffle she had to be hospitalized. So we're not just protecting ourselves, we're helping protect those around us who can't afford to get sick (and in some cases can't get the shot).

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Forget it, as far as I am concerned. My mother was a big fan of flu shots and when I was in college she forced me to have one during one Christmas vacation. I went back to school to exams and at least half a dozen papers and had to do all that sick as a dog for weeks. Never again! In recent decades I have the egg problems to deal with so I wouldn't do it for that reason either, plus they seem to have preservatives in them. Not to mention the fact that they often guess wrong which strain of flu will be showing up this year anyhow. I can see if you work in a hospital or something you'd have to take it and hope it helps, but that isn't me. What are your thoughts on getting the flu shot. I know people that told me that they had friends die from it. Ohters that got it were really sick afterwards. I know that it is a big money making thing, because just because you get the shot doesnt mean you will be covered by it for this season -- Jody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Because of my egg allergy and inability (as well as dis-inclination) to take flu shots, I asked the pharmacist about the FluMist when it came out. She got a horrified look on her face and said DON'T take that junk! It's live vaccine and she said it makes a lot of people sick. Especially if you start with compromised immune systems, like many of us, I would think. There is NO way I would get the flu shot. It is the worse vaccination for heavy metals. I have read research on it not working and could even make you sick. IF you absolutely insist on getting it then I would do the nasal one. That is the normal route for infection and for your body to make antibodies against it. Of course they're always guessing what strain of flu will hit and the chances of them getting it right is slim.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I was told to take the Borion influenzinum 9 before and if you feel sick take it too. Take the influenzinum 3 pills one day a week for 4 weeks , then wait 3 weeks and then take another dose.
