I have a husband with Cold and a medically fragile preemie lung baby. I required flu shots this year. One family dawdled and didn't get them until Nov 5, which means that they weren't effective until today. DCB got sent home from school Monday. Saw the doctor today and he tested positive. Luckily he is a SA sibling. Mom only let him come as far as the door at pick up, so he was only around his brother. Mom swears he was quarantined the past 3 datys, except for sitting side by side in the car.
We are keeping a close eye on brother first hint of anything wrong, he's out of here. In the meantime, baby is spending a lot of time in the other room with hubby.

Ugh. I can't get a flu shot, and after how sick I got after one a few years ago, I don't allow my family to anymore either. I honestly thought I was going to die from that darn flu shot. I dread it every year.

How did you get sick from the flu shot? Ugh. I can't get a flu shot, and after how sick I got after one a few years ago, I don't allow my family to anymore either. I honestly thought I was going to die from that darn flu shot. I dread it every year.
It's not possible according to the CDC. http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/qa/misconceptions.htm
You could have had a reaction to the vaccine but then there are other options available.

That's what I've heard too...that it is some sort of allergic reaction to the vaccine ingredients but I've also heard that they are formulating multiple types/kinds of vaccines so that people who have had reactions can still get the vaccines.

I think my clinic said there are 3 different types available now. Don't quote me on that though...

His symptoms were like the FLU....a severe case at that....
