Thank you all for your comments.I've decided not to get the shot, I have Fibro and have lots of tingling, popping muscles and electric shocks all over now so don't need any more.I take lots of vitamins, exercise etc  so will chance it.Thanks again

I've had the seasonal and the H1N1 vaccinations with no problem. I've had the seasonal flu shot for over 15 years now, never a problem, never had the flu. I'd get vaccinated. If you're going to Cuba, you might check the CDC website for other vaccinations that might be helpful. You don't want to get sick in a foreign country!!

You might want to check out the 149 comments on the "Tingling after swine flu vaccine" before getting vaccinated. I think all of us there would rather have NOT had the vaccine and boosted our immune system health with vitamins, minerals and herbs, moderate exercise, etc. instead. Just make an informed decision.

Vomiting is not a side effect from immunizations.  Probably more of a coincidence. Maybe you already had a stomach virus brewing prior to getting vaccinate?  I wouldn't let that be the sole reason you do not get the vaccine.
