Personally I take a flu shot every year and a pneumonia shot every 3 years. I have been doing this every year I have had TM which in 3 weeks will be 12 years. I think it is a personal decision for each of us to make. I can tell you that both my regular Internist as well as Dr. Kerr have never had a problem with me getting the vaccinations. Lastly I cannot recall coming down with the flu ever since taking the vacine and I have never (other than a sore arm) had any side effects whatsoever. Rob in New Jersey

It had been suggested that among other things, TM could be caused by the flu, a virus, whatever. Some of us were convinced of that and refused to take the vaccine. I haven't had one in four years. Others felt having checked with their doctors that we should have it and continued to get it. Question: What's going to happen now with the flu vaccine? Will some of us still be ambivalent? R
