my 4 yo dd got the intranasal swine flu vaccine on thurs -- now she has a fever; the dr's office says a lot of kids are coming down with a "mild" swine flu in reaction.
anyone else have this? |
| I'm wondering the same thing! We're planning to do the flumist but worry about the kids getting sick. Anyone? |
| Yes, my DS got it Thurdsay and woke up this AM with a small fever and runny nose. He is fine though. |
| My 3 kids and I got the H1N1 flumist last Wednesday and we are fine. No sickness at all. |
| My friends kids both got flumist and came down with fevers the next day. The younger one came down with actual H1N1 a few days laters so they probably already had been coming down with something prior to or soon after receiving the shot. |
| My kids got the spray on a Friday. One came down with H1N1 on Sunday. The other on Tuesday and then I got it. The doctor thought it was from the vaccine (the first child getting it). He said that there were two possible reactions- immediate, and a mild form of the flu. The flu reaction would take a couple of days. |
| The spray is considered a "live" vaccine and can make them sick. The shot is not "live" and cannot make them sick. I don't know the proper terms but that's the jist of it. |
| My 2 yo and I got flumist -and both of us are fine. |
| Also - the doctor told us (just something to keep in mind) that the flumist "lasts longer and is more effective" than the shot. |
PP, did you just get a mild version of h1n1, or are you all very sick? |
