This year's flu vaccine recipe was determined last year and put together this past spring. It's a pot shot, but for the most part, it seems to work.

And as always, this is not 'fact', just memory from a degree I got 10 years ago.

didn't some news show just state that they think they missed the mark this year, and probably don't have the right virus in this year's shot? and then still reccomend that we get them? please.

just wash your hands a lot

I may try the nasal vaccine in the future, as I apparently have an allergy to one of the antibodies in the shot. Got one two years ago, started feeling all hot and cold, mouth tasted like aluminum, and my heart was racing. Damn, that was scary.

Got a free one at work. I too, cant avoid humans and tend to interact a lot with the small, nose-pickin', sticky ones.

Just got a free one at work today. Felt a little flush and nauseous a few hours later. I only keep aspirin in my desk and after reading the warning about the of Guillain-Barré syndrome as a remote possibility, I borrowed some acetomenaphin from a co-worker.

I remembered that aspirin and GB had been linked when taken for some diseases.

Got a monthly bulletin from my Health Care Provider that said *every* influenza originated in Chinese livestock.:(

I have had exactly one flu shot in my entire life. I initiated a flu shot program for one of my previous employers, and I decided to get one myself as the prognostication for influenza was rather high that year.

Two days after getting the shot, I came down with the worst case of the flu I've ever had, and was off work for a solid week.

I'm not saying the shot caused the flu, but it was damn strange.
