Am I alone in being leery of the flu shot this year?
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
I have not gotten the Covid vaccine, it scares the shit out of me. I have a family history of strokes and the last thing I need is blood clots. My husband, unfortunately, sees no issues at all and got the J&J shot in May. Felt like crap for about 24 hours after the shot, but otherwise he has thankfully had no issues.
Now he is off to get the seasonal flu shot. I have in years past gotten the flu shot without a second thought but this year I am reluctant to get it. He thinks I'm nuts but with everything that is going on, I wouldn't put it past anyone to tinker with the flu shot as well right now. Anyone else feeling the same way?
Same for me; the first year I got the actual shot (work requirement, medical field), I had vertigo the very next day. And it lasted 3-4 wks. My work nurse completely brushed it off where as an outpt MD actually entertained the connection. Have had autoimmune issues ever since.
