A member asked:

Im a 53yrs old. i could never get my baby shots they made me sick almost died. should i get h1n1 shot ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The earlier baby shots from 50 years ago were rather harsh and frequently produced high fevers and other reactions. They have nothing to do with the highly refined and produced flu vaccines now available.
