I usually get the flu shot each year after getting a horrible flu about 14 years ago and ending up in the hospital dehydrated and on IVs.
I've been debating about getting the pneumonia and TDAP booster shot since I will be traveling. CDC also recommends the Hepatitis vaccine.
I heard yesterday that the Swine flu vaccine won't be ready until late Nov/Dec. and that will be for the high risk patients, so I don't see getting it this year.
It does scare me though a 19yr old guy and his 26 yr old sister who lived in Indiana and were being treated here in Cincinnati both died from it and they have no idea how they got it! |
