I went and got my flu shot this afternoon.
I always get it from my gp. Everyone from the age of 60 and those with lungproblems, diabetes (really everyone with a higher risk of flu) gets one that is payd for by our insurance.
Anyway, I called my transplant clinic cause my immune system has a hard time of keeping EBV at bay and for the my immuno suppresents were already lowered.
I was just wondering if it was safe to get the flu shot. My GP thought that it was but she said I should call my clinic just to be sure. So i did.
They said that I could go and get it. But that they weren't sure if it would do something. I didn't actually speak to the nurse practitioner who said that but the tx clinic's secretary asked and told me. I guess it's because they are not sure if my body can produce the anti-bodies that it is supposed to.
I was just wondering. Do you get the flu shot?
