I got tetanus toxoid and Lyme Disease.

Lyme Disease is a very debilitating tick-borne pathogen.

"If it's not broken don't fix it." I am a microbiolgist graduate. The Dna in the viral particles can be unpredictable. I think that vaccinations now are extremely dangerous. Keep your immune system in good order by excercise, healthy eating. Take vitamens, about 1000 miligrams of vitamen C three times a day or take a teaspoon of vinegar at your meals. Virus's and bacteria have a hard time existing in acidic environments. Good luck on your decision.

But of course you should listen to others , but make up your own decision. Best of all seek the Lord for help. He will give you an answer.

Is this a repeat????? Don't get any of those hideous toxic germ ridden shots. Ickkkkk! Not only are you infesting your vessel....you become a carrier. Great....lets start an epedemic. Don't you know that the pharmacy keeps the disease going? Hey....lets inject swine flu vaccine so in 20 years the folks can enjoy brain cancer. GET HIP! WAKE UP! I AM NOT A MEDICAL RO

Hubby and I had Tetanus booster last week. My arm was swollen real bad for 4 days. Nurse said take Advil and apply heat packs, and it worked. I wish you better luck!

You didn't give your age. We get annual flu shots and have had the pneumonia vaccine which lasts for at least 10 years.

a) Don't get more than 1 vaccine at a time. Separate by about 2 weeks if at all possible.

b) Unless you are a baby (most babies don't post...), a single vaccine probably won't "take" for you. Older folk who get vaccines (in hospitals where it counts, for example), will keep getting shots until blood-tests indicate that they have succeeded in developing immunity to the virus/bacterium that the vaccine is for.

c) Personally, I don't think you can predict which vaccines you might need, but small-pox and plague are favorites with terrorists, since they are so easy to vaccinate against. Small-pox vaccine is out of production. Plague is out of production too, although still licensed.
