Yes, I did get my flu shot in September, plus last week when I saw my
regular doctor here he gave me a Prevnar-13 shot. I hope that is not the
reason I'm having the nausea problem. He, said that he checked is computer to
make sure it would not interfere with my Gleevec. Good luck on that
Do you get your flu shots?
They tell us to stay away from crowds--but how is that possible?
Drink lots of fluids and stay warm.
