Both my kids got the Flu mist.
My husband and I got the Flu shot.
I also have Asthma. And thus, I also got the Pneumonia shot.
Now: this week my son has been sick with Flu like symptoms. He is home all week and not in school.
I took him to the Doctor today. They gave him a Flu test. It was negative. He does NOT have the Flu.
BUT... if a person is sick and seemingly... has the "Flu"... they might think they have the Flu, but it might not be.
Thus, even if my son got the Flu shot... he did not get sick, with the Flu.
He does not have the Flu. But, TONS of kids at my kids' school, are getting sick with the Flu, the past couple of weeks.
The gist of this lesson is: If you or your kids are sick with Flu like symptoms, you CANNOT assume... it is the Flu... UNLESS you get a proper medical Diagnosis and Flu Test... from the Doctor. And the Flu shot, does not give you, the Flu.
Prior to going to the Doctor, friends were telling me "Your son must have the Flu... " because of his symptoms. To a Layperson, it SEEMS like the Flu. But my son does not have it. But his symptoms, are like... the Flu.
We are glad we got the Flu shot.
