Problem with flu shot

From the Vancouver Sun:

British Columbia is suspending its annual seasonal flu shot program amidst emerging concerns the vaccination could make people more susceptible to catching H1N1.

The suspension — which limits the seasonal flu vaccination mostly to the elderly — puts B.C. in line with many other Canadian provinces, but means most people will not have access to any type of influenza vaccination until at least mid-November.

This decision was based, according to an NPR report, on statistical studies showing people who've had seasonal flu shots were more likely to get swine flu and to have a bad case of it.  Quebec and Ontario are following the British Columbia protocol.

I've got the flu right now (not badly) so I guess I'm "lucky"!
