If you must give it, have them use (the dead virus that is given) the injection rather than the nasal drop, which is the live virus. |
One thing, I'm so sorry that this happened to you, and that's awful. What a bunch of.. well, I won't say it. I'm shocked they didn't pay for their mistakeS. not mistake- MISTAKES. It doesn't ease suffering, but it still is the right thing to do.
