I think you may have missed my point. I was trying to say that I haven’t suffered from any of the supposed side effects mentioned by Dr Viera Scheibner. I do agree though that a flu vaccine isn’t a cure for all strains of the flu. The average flu shot will only protect you from about five strains. They are usually the most prevalent that season. Some people may be lucky and never get the flu, but it is a rarity. A large proportion that think they have never had the flu probably have but thought it was a cold, even though there are some obvious differences in the symptoms.
