In reply to Med question on Flu Shots, posted by Phillipa on October 18, 2006, at 11:43:15
My mother-in-law suffered semi-paralysis for 5 days after a flu shot, however she was not in good health to begin with, and in a nursing home. However she did recover from that almost completely. This was about 10 yrs ago.
I have avoided the shots since. Last fall I had access to a free flu shot at our workplace clinic, and decided to do it, because our workplace was touting it as the "thing to do". I felt definitely "flu-ish" for a week or so afterwards, and decided this year I'm NOT going to get the flu shot.
