you should speak to your doctor before getting a flu shot just to be safe. he or she will tell you for sure whether or not to get one. in general it is recommended that people at high risk for complications from the flu (such as those with compromised immune systems) receive the flu vaccine. you cannot get the flu from the vaccine and it's very important people in high risk groups receive this potentially life-saving vaccination. i can tell you that all of the people around you -- family members who live with you or visit regularly caregivers other people you come into contact with on a regular basis -- definitely should get a flu shot. this is to protect you from getting the flu from them. this is very important in your situation so please urge your loved ones to get vaccinated. i wish you all the best!
i recently (2 months ago) had a heart & kidney transplant and would like your opinion as to if i should get a flu shot?
