Kids were sicker than me. Everybody recovered. My husband stayed healthy (born before 1957!) Up to 40% of children in certain classes of their school are out with flu like symptoms. I assume this was H1N1. (no testing done) I do not plan to get H1N1 vaccine for any of us. Why risk vaccine side effects if you had the disease already? But here is the question: When should you get the seasonal flu vaccine after (presumed) H1N1 infection? My kids still need it. Both my kids and I had flu like symptoms within the last 3 weeks.
