Do I Dare To Get The Flu Shot?
Yes thank you. I am just getting better from a bad cold. Medicine as well. I want to get the flu shot but I am scared to as When I did the last time 10 to 15 years ago I got hives about a couple of months later. I had to have prednisone and allergy pulls. I got a return of them for a year. maybe 4 months apart. Do I dare get the flu shot now?
