Has Fear of H1N1 (Swine Flu) Changed Your Routine?

Well actually I was doing fine and dandy until after I got the flu shot.

You were sick before you got the flu shot. The incubation period for the average flu is 5-7 days. If you got sick the next day, it wasn't because of the flu shot.

I had a flu shot about 10 days ago and my arm started to itch at the injection site immediately. It continued to itch off and on for about a week. I have yet to get sick.

Well that was over a month ago and I'm over that now. But you may be right. though the doc did say that flu shots actually do give people milder symptoms of the flu.

I am in the healthcare field full time, and am around dozens of people every day who have the flu. Not a big deal to me. Nothing has changed.

I work part time at a hospital AND deal with green snot-nosed kids everyday. I haven't had a cold in 13 yrs... my routine hasn't changed.
