I was diagnosed with the H1N1 flu back in August, felt sick for a couple days, and then recovered.
I wasn’t sure if this made me resistant to re-infection, so I went ahead and got an H1N1 vaccine shot as well a few days ago.
Was this necessary? I wanted to err on the side of caution. But now I see all these vaccine shortages, and I wonder if the vaccine was wasted on me, and if I just took someone else’s dose.
