[QUOTE="Natch, post: 112047, member: 45"] You're right in that it probably had nothing to do with the shot. The flue vaccine being prepared for this fall is based upon the three or four most widespread/virulent strains they're experiencing in the Southern Hemisphere over the past few months (just as their vaccine next year will be based upon our experiences in the Northern Hemisphere in the coming months). While they're pretty good at guessing the major flue strains that will migrate to the next winter, there are hundreds of flue strains around all the time. So any of us can get a strain of flue that the vaccine was not designed to prevent. I get one every year because my wife is a nurse and in charge of immunizing a major Childrens Hospital in our area, so if it's good enough for several thousand doctors and staff and thousands more children, I guess it's good enough for me?
