Flu shots may not give you the flu....

[dvandom]

But they can give you a LOVELY assortment of flu-like symptoms as your body's immune system goes into overdrive fighting off the dead virus bits. Headache and congestion started around lunch, and by mid-afternoon I was getting random pains all over, and was light-sensitive to the point that the glare off the wet road was physically painful. Joy. I'd better not get any fucking flu this year.

To make sure none of us at work missed any days due to flu, the management decided to give us all free flu shots. Maybe they should have given us "Flue Prevention" shots as most people at work took sick days soon after for flu-like symptoms.
