flu shots

i never get flu shots. well one time i did. they were giving them for free at work. but i think i got sick a couple of days after.

so i passed this year on the flu shot. but now they are offerring the h1n1 vaccine and i passed on that one too. and the nurse asked me if i was sure and i told her that i got sick that one time and i know it was from the shot.

she asked me if i was allergic to eggs (which i now know is not dairy but just something else i am sensitive to) and i said yes. and she said the vaccine contains a small amount of egg protein. so that's why i don't like them!

i also always test positive for tb....but the chest x-rays are always negative.

My mother-in-law cannot get the flu shot, either -- for the exact same reason. She wishes that she could, but that darn egg allergy prevents it.
