re: #77 LGoPs

I get a flu shot every year and like clockwork, about a month later I get sick as a dog.
But I’ll probably keep getting them anyway…..

Same thing with me AND my kids, only we usually catch something about a week later. Usually something nasty that puts keeps me home from work and the kids home from school/daycare. I have to wonder if my immunity to illnesses NOT covered by the flu shot is lowered while my body is building resistance to the flu from the shot. I asked a doctor about this once and he gave me the this-woman-is-crazy look and told me I can’t catch the flu from the shot.
KansasDad never has any trouble, gets his shot every year. And then has to take care of the rest of us when we get sick!
