Before you take the shot, make sure the potential benefits are not over-ridden by the
neurological side-effects (Guillain-Barre Syndrome). As I understand, I'm not in an at-risk group so the odds of me taking this shot or any flu shot this year is nil to none.
OK, but you can get GBS from pretty much any viral syndrome. After all, it's an auto-immune reaction to a virus, usually weeks after the fact. I doubt I'd let the threat of GBS dissuage me from the relatively good coverage of most vaccines, ESPECIALLY if this turns out to be bad.
Personally, as a physician, I'm waiting to see what's going to happen. No point panicking, when there's enough crap out there making patients already.
