Hi all,
Over here in the states they are going to start vaccinating certain risk groups (that I would fall in) in mid-October for the swine flu. They have already begun the flu shots. My son has asthma and I have a touch of it and he got the flu one year and it was ten times worse due to his asthma.
My problem. I'm highly allergic to eggs. The flu, swine flu shots and even the nose spray vaccines are all harvested in eggs. I can't get any of the vaccines. I realize that probably millions of people will not be vaccinated and many have had the flu and have been okay but because of my health issues and mild asthma I'm of course worried. Does anyone else have this issue and have a suggestion?
Thanks so much.
Laura
