[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]If they had flu shots, it would likely be a much milder case, even if they did get it. [/b]

My DD tested positive last month, even after a flu shot, and really only had one day of high fever and chills. Another day on the sofa with a low fever and mild achiness, then she was just kind of tired for a couple more days. Upper respiratory symptoms were never bad enough to keep her from sleeping. She had it over a three-day weekend, and never even missed school.

We got her tested in plenty of time to take Tamiflu, but the doctor said since she'd had a flu shot, it was likely that the side effects would probably be worse than the actual illness. [/quote]

I got the flu even though I got the flu shot. I was deathly ill for about a week. I can’t imagine not having the flu shot and having been much sicker, because I literally did not even get out of bed for four days except to crawl to the bathroom.   I absolutely had Tamiflu and did notice it was making me feel better, but again I was just so sick this time ( I was diagnosed and got Tamiflu within 48 hours of getting sick ).[/quote]
