It's just my thoughts on the subject and I get a flu shot every year. This is the first year getting one with knowledge of having Lyme. I don't have a LLMD that I trust to know enough to give me a valid answer on the question so I went with my gut instinct.

NOT A DOCTOR!

However, for convenience , I will offer my opinion here ,too. I will never get another flu shot again. I've had them for many years and it never helped anyway. Last year, I took a homeopathic flu prevention medicine and it worked. I did not get the flu last year. I gave it to all three of my children,too. They did not get the flu,either. Well, okay, my then three year old tested positive for the flu.....well, the good news is that her only symptom was a fever for a few hours. That's it....I was so happy. We have gotten the flu every year for as long as I can remember, despite the 'flu shot.' If anyone is interested in the name of the homeopathic that I take, I'm happy to provide.

Let me know!!!!

There are so many viruses around and I think the shots are specific to one type so you can still get sick. I think we're better off building up our immune systems.

I do NOT recommend them. They only cover 3 strains of flu.

When I got mine I was sick for days. Yes I have lyme. Never again in my life will I ever get one.
