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.
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.
