[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both my DD and I received the vaccine  at the end of October and neither of us had a reaction.  My DD has, in the past, had hives at the tail end of a virus which her Dr. thought was the trigger.  I see from reading this thread that some of you have considered that possibility.  It seems to me that many of the people who have had hives would be more likely to have picked up a virus from sitting in a room where hundreds of other people (including children who spread germs easily) have sat that day.  I even remarked to my husband that I should have been more concerned that I picked up a cold from the waiting area given all the runny noses, coughing, and weepy eyes I saw.  Moreover, some of the posters didn't see hives until a couple of days later, just about the length of time it takes many viruses to replicate, and longer than it takes most reactions to set in.  On top of that are the posters who got hives but didn't get the shot.  Anyway, just a thought...  [/quote]

I definitely agree. Considering my toddler got hives two weeks BEFORE her flu shot, I can't imagine she is the only person in town that happened to get hives unrelated to a shot. My pediatrician says hives are a common part of viruses, especially in children. And I got hives randomly this spring - no shots, no allergies. Dr. blamed it on hormones and stress. [/quote]
