I think there are some risks involved with getting a flu shot...and some of the ingredients in the shot are probably not so good.
I wonder how the risks compare to the risks involved with getting the flu though. Found this on USA Today site:
Each year, 36,000 Americans — almost as many people as are killed in auto accidents — die from complications of flu. More than 200,000 people get sick enough to be hospitalized. Yet children ages 5 to 18 don't figure prominently in this toll: Last year, only about 40 of them died of flu in 26 states monitored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Pretty crazy numbers there, I had no idea. Wonder what percentage was elderly or had weak immune systems from other complications and illnesses though.
