I think this is a little harsh- people have to weigh up there own situations. There are people out there with other serious conditions etc, that could contract the flu and die form complications, having a short reaction to vaccine is a better situation for them than actually contracting the flu and being seriously seriously ill.

While I really feel for hmn and her DD for such a scary experience, I will probably still get myself and my children vaccinated- I work in a high risk profession, and my children both attend school or daycare where they could easily come in to contact with someone who is sick with the flu. I personally would rather risk a reaction- and I can understand that this could be a scary and distressing situation, then risk my either of my children actually contracting the flu and becoming seriously ill. That is a personal point of view, and I am glad that the OP has made this post so I am aware of side effects that could be caused.
By no means was I saying you shouldn't get the flu vaccine. I haven't heard of a mass reaction happening before with this vaccine, and I am fairly confident that it was a faulty batch or a new vaccine (combination). I wanted to warn parents to make them aware of this, and hopefully others can avoid a reaction. To me this situation doesn't seem like a normal reaction, considering how many it affected last night.
