Daughter Number One is Down

Audrey lost the immunity race. She got the H1N1 vaccine last Thursday but Tuesday she came down with the flu. It takes many weeks to build immunity after vaccination. Of course it could be seasonal flu for which she wasn't vaccinated.

It started with vomiting two days ago (none since). Now the poor thing is afraid to eat anything. But we just got some chicken soup in her.

I think I had it last week. If I did it was the mildest flu I've ever had. I hope Charlotte and Carol can avoid it. Probably not but extra hand washing going on to try.

That sucks she got sick. I suspect the vaccination itself gave her the flu, or H1N1. The general feeling out there I have read is the shot is unnecessary and also may be flawed in its targets anyway (ineffective to the mutated versions currently around). I hope she gets better.
