RP 2nd tri- H1N1 Shot today - but woke up w soar throat

NYBoston05 · November 2009

I woke up this morning with a soar throat and some congestion that I'm sure has to do with the fact that I've been on 10 planes in the past 2 weeks. I think if you have flu- like symptoms you are not suposed to get the vaccine but I'm worried if I tell the Dr, office they won't give it to me and then they will run out of shots by the time I feel better. It was torture trying to find a shot in the first place. but overall I don't want to put the baby or me at risk by not telling them about the sore throat.

What do you think?

Tell them about the sore throat. They will probably still give it to you as long as you are not running a fever. NEVER lie to the doctor about your health. You could do more harm than good this way.

You are only not supposed to get it if you are really sick...like stay home from work sick. Just a cold is fine. I had one when I got my shot. You may want to call just in case though.

If you have a fever you shouldn't get it, if you don't - then they will still give it to you.

tell them for sure.

DD had a cold when she got hers - pedi said it was fine as long as she wasn't running a high fever.
