I was planning to get my annual flu shot last week, but stopped when I found out two neighbors contracted Gullian-Barre Syndrome (GBS) within last two weeks. One DIED, the other was sent to ICU and is now in 6 months of Rehab to repair the sheath protecting the nerves. Side effect (GBS) destroys myelin sheath covering protecting the nerves.
My Humana nurse said she has seen this only twice in ten years; however, I have seen it twice in The Villages in one week.
The flu shot is produced by several different pharmaceutical companies. Is there a particular strain which is more deadly than others this year?
Seniors are recommended to get the "high-dose" version. Is that the one causing the side effect?
Is anyone else familiar with a friend or family member contracting this serious side effect this year?
