Cheryl;
A flu vaccine is only effective for the strain of flu that is in the vaccine. There are many types of flu, so before anyone gets the vaccine, it's best to check with the local CDC (Center for Disease Control) and find out what strain of flu is prevalent in your area. Then you can ask your Doc if the vaccine will hurt you.
With Earl's other 2 auto immune problems, we have been told that it is wise for him to get it - so he went last Saturday and got the shot, and I got mine a few days later.
Here's hoping you do well.
Beth
