<html><head></head><body><div dir="auto">My Dad was an Air Force pilot for 20 years. The Air Force "required" that you receive the flu shot, whether you wanted it or not. For the first few years it was mandatory, he got the shot, and he got the flu. He would get the flu so bad that he ended up in the hospital each time. <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">About the third year of this happening, the Flight Surgeon finally admitted they couldn't figure out why, and put him on a permanent waiver. It was costing them more in lost pilot time to give him the shot, than simply risking "if" he might catch the flu on his own. And no, he's not allergic to eggs, which is the typical question they ask, and why(as I understand it) there are two versions of the vaccine these days.<br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">I've had flu shots myself but not many. It seems to affect me adversely in different ways each time. I remember one time years and years ago, after having the flu shot, I had one symptom after another, each one lasting nearly a week; headaches one week, body aches next, sore throat next, etc.. I was "feeling poorly" for nearly two months, but not bad enough that I couldn't work.<br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">I'm not a fan of flu shots myself.<br></div>

</font><div><font color="black" size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Maybe you're allergic to something in them. I always ask for one with no thimerosal (a mercury that's an antibacterial, antifungal agent, preservative) but i believe they ask if you're allergic to something before giving the shot...i think eggs? The shot is deadened virus and the nasal spray is live. If any consolation for this year... you haven't missed much as i hear there was a mutation to one of the viruses and the flu shot is only 10% effective. Time to carry/wear a mask when out in public and you encounter those who go out and sneeze and cough on everyone, especially in elevators and movie theatres (as happened to me yesterday). <img src="https://s.aolcdn.com/cdn.webmail.aol.com/resources/core/images/emoji/angryfacewithhorns.png" alt="Angry face with horns" title="Angry face with horns" height="25" width="25" style="vertical-align:text-bottom">
