Sigh. But I'm glad it exists, and hopefully we all avoid the gunk this winter. :) Gail Viechnickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06429659185411737737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329030199907588064.post-68207342457929622682015-10-28T16:44:17.305-05:002015-10-28T16:44:17.305-05:00Most years, we are getting the flu shot...the shot...Most years, we are getting the flu shot...the shot kind, not the flu mist kind.<br />-Jennyhopeforsavannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04467864938336814241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329030199907588064.post-66528938786818196812015-10-28T13:51:05.847-05:002015-10-28T13:51:05.847-05:00I know this post is from 2 years ago (almost 3!) b...I know this post is from 2 years ago (almost 3!) but I just discovered your blog and have been reading backwards. :) We just came from my son's ped rheumatologist appointment today, and she reminded me to get Henry the flu shot. He can't get the flu mist, which is a live vaccine, she said, but she definitely recommended the flu shot for him, as he's immunocompromised with all the meds he's on. I don't know what you decided to do for the winters that followed this one in 2013, but there's my 2 cents (or rather, our doctor's 2 cents). :) Gail Viechnickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06429659185411737737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329030199907588064.post-79292407437020659372013-01-04T15:27:49.374-06:002013-01-04T15:27:49.374-06:00I hope she feels better soon.
