Sorry for punk output

but I was sick when we got home, and I got sicker after I went to the doctor and got antibiotics for my bronchitis and a flu shot. I ended up spending Tuesday and Thursday in bed, and today I wasn’t worth much, either.
Someone told me today that you can have an adverse reaction if you take antibiotics right after a flu shot. I’m thinkin’ bullhockey here, since the flu vaccine is made from either live or killed virii (I think it depends on the strain; I have no idea how this year’s was made, other than the fact that CDC guessed wrong and it was made from the wrong strain) and antibiotics don’t work on viral infections — they work on bacterial infections.
(Someone also stated as a fact today in my hearing that flu vaccine is made from bacteria. It’s not. Why are people so stupid? Well, at any rate, the particular person who stated this definitely isn’t firing on all cylinders, as my wife reminded me when I made comment.)
Anyway, almost everyone I know who’s had a flu shot this year has been sick for a couple of days after, not unlike they had a very short bout of very low-level flu. And that’s pretty much what I feel like. Plus, for two days my arm felt like someone had bludgeoned it, also something everyone else I know who’s been inoculated this year has told me, but that I can live with.
Now I see they’re saying that there isn’t enough vaccine to meet the sudden upsurge in demand since the papers came out with “early flu season kills 4 children in Colorado”. And there won’t be any more because it takes too long to make. So I guess I was lucky to get one at all.
