A member asked:
I broke out in hives right after dinner, starting at my lower torso. i also had the flu vaccine 4-5 hrs earlier. do i have food or vaccine allergy?

Vaccine more likely: Either one sounds possible, but I would be more suspicious of the vaccine. But it might be something else entirely. But to be completely safe, I suggest contacting the doctor's office where you were vaccinated; or your primary care provider if you were vaccinated outside a doctor's office, e.g. a pharmacy.
