Husband and I got ours yesterday in Arkansas. The price has tripled at the health Dept. from last time I had to pay for one.

I'm hospitalized with almost ever cold I get due to asthma - people in my category cannot use the nasal vaccine, it contains live virus. The injected one is dead vaccine and can't cause the flu, but.... I will never get one at the Drs. office again. Sitting there an hour or two with other patients coughing and sneezing, I always catch something!

I do believe there can be a reaction to the shot. Other years I've gotten a sore throat, felt achy and sick all over but it's usually short and obviously not the flu.

I wonder if they stopped making the vaccine as it wasn't quite the strain that is going around.

Keep telling your families to stay away from anyone coughing and wash, wash, wash, especially if you work with the public!!! My worst year was running a store next to a pharmacy, most of my wintertime customers were sick, browsing while waiting for an RX to be filled.

What part of Arkansas? My parents both come from St. Francis County (Forrest City).
