I never get the flu, and only got a flu shot once as I was doing volunteer work in a hospital. However the doctor I saw for the sinus infection from hell told me I need the actual H1N1 shot and I'm on the list to get it. I'd like to thank my agricultural ancestors for being exposed to all kinds of flu linked to animals, and passing those genes and resistance on to me. My roommate had the swine flu, as well as an employee and I didn't get it, even with my jacked up immune system. The concern is that since I was exposed to TB and have positive skin tests that H1N1 could get into my lungs and the TB could become active; so I get the shot instead of the mist. I've been sick since Labor Day and haven't had any fevers, coughing, or crud in my chest so I know I haven't had H1N1.
