The flu shot that they’re giving out is one of the bivalent shots, I think.
I personally know two people who got the shot on Friday afternoon and got super sick by that evening.
Two data points:
- One person is a friend in her 40s - she got super bad flu symptoms for 24 hours (high fever and all). She said it was the Pfizer one.
-The other is a guy in his 80s. By Friday evening, he was slurring his speech and couldn’t go up stairs. He ended up in the hospital.
The only reason I'm glad my husband passed from cobid is that now we won't argue about him getting a flu shot
I’m sorry for your loss. My in-laws are both hell-bent on getting jab boosters.they fully trust their general practitioner and do everything he says. No amount of convincing will make them pause and question what he’s recommending.
