Hep and flu shot
I posted in an earlier thread about the flu shot that I was going to get.Well now my drs PA has called and said that the she doesnt think that they are going to let me get one.She said that with the very high viral load that I have that my immune system is already working overtime.The flu shot this year has a live strain of the viruses in it.Kinda makes sense.This is probably why the pharmacist asked me what my VL was.Waiting on the second call.But I did get an order for a il28b polymorphism test !!!Does this flu shot thing make any sense to anybody????
Maybe instead of the woman at the pharmacy should have asked me if I was allergic to eggs or latex(which she did not),instead of what my VL was !!!!!What if I was allergic to one of these things,it was NOT on the questionaire!!!!!
Maybe everyone is right - depending on what they are thinking the shot is made up from. Check this:
An attenuated vaccine is a vaccine created by reducing the virulence of a pathogen, but still keeping it viable (or "live").[1] Attenuation takes an infectious agent and alters it so that it becomes harmless or less virulent. These vaccines contrast to those produced by "killing" the virus
Personally, I was taught that a virus was never considered alive or dead - just on or off - guess you learn something new all the time...

Maybe this type of inept medical practice is a test to show how it will be if Obama's medical bill is passed. It is really scary hearing stuff like this is going on.

Copy, what does this have to do with Obama's healthcare bill? And I thought that bill passed a while ago. Am I confused for a change?

They make a latex/eggs allergic shot that is the one I get.
From now on don't tell people you have hepc and it willl save you a lot of aggravation in the first place.
