No allergies to eggs. My problem is that after getting a flu shot, say two or three months later, I will contract the flu really bad. This last bout a year and half ago my doctor nearly hospitalized me. I got the shot in November, and was sick in February, also contracting secondary infection and requiring two antibiotics and inhalers for nearly two weeks. Similar has happened in the past. No more flu vaccines for me for a while.

Along with soap and water, sanitizing gel and clean towels are useful. Can't always get to water, but I always have hand sanitizer and pants legs handy.
