Thanks for taking the time to clarify this for us. I've certainly heard of people getting "minor" flu from a flu shot. So it makes sense what you're saying. Could you also ask them whether you can have a shingles shot if you've already had shingles twice? My family doctor says you can, but she's not an expert in that field.
