I do wish I'd been able to get the vaccine before I caught the piggie flu. (I was scheduled to get the vaccine the next week... oops, too late!)
My bout was pretty mild, only out for two days. But that's 2 days of vacation time GONE. It took about 2 weeks for the sore throat and fatigue to go away, and about 4 days for the vampire eyes to go away. I was real purty.
I'd rather have got the vaccine, even though I was lucky enough to get the "piglet" version of the flu.
