DH and I got the flu shot this year but somehow it worked out that the kids did not get theirs. I was a little worried about the H1N1 vax in there.

Anyway, 1 kid got the flu. DH and I are fine. The other kids did not get the flu. Who knows how and why they didn't.

When I was at the doctors with the sick one, the doc said they are seeing just as many kids who had the flu shot get the flu this year.

Answer by Bmat at 12:56 PM on Jan. 25, 2011
we got the shot this year. We got a very mild case of the flu. Dr. called "mock flu"..lol We all also got very sick almost the day after we were given the shot. I was only sick for an evening this year...my kids 1 -3 days. Unlike last year...hubby out of work unpaid 1 week...my dh was out of school 9 days. It was in my house for 2 weeks or 3 weeks last year. I have to say the over the counter homeopathic medicine called oscillococcinum worked almost immediately (there are $2.00 of coupons on their site...oscillo.com) another great one for knocking it out is oregano oil tablets.
