Get Your Flu Shot, Folks!

[ffr]

227. Be honest. Who got sick within a week of their flu shot booster?

Not trying to play gotcha, just wanting those who came down with something to share what it might have been, so we can benefit as a whole.

But here, just like clockwork, guess what? Four people sick at the office, all were part of the group of fourteen who got this year's flu shot booster the same day 10/03/14. Two couldn't make it into work Thursday and aren't coming in today either. I thought they were on vacation, until it was volunteered to me today that they were at home sick. The other two who appear to have colds, came into the office despite their obvious contagious appearance and Kleenex cluttering their waste bins. One says, she got it from her child. The other is the one who's just sick all the time, so I'm not sure she has an excuse. She starting coughing earlier on Tuesday anyway, so I kinda figured she'd be the first.

Coincidence, again?

Only those four are sick. All the rest who got the booster or didn't, aren't exhibiting signs of sickness; coughing, chills, runny nose...or I haven't noticed...and it's not my job to notice, but when you can hear the coughing and nose blowing, you just do.

As for me, I feel terrific! The weather's perfect, sunny and dry. A beautiful day, like any other. But as a favor to this thread, I'll post back if my situation changes sometime before Friday May 1, 2015 and let you know my results: flu or no flu and for how long, if any.
