Weird about them telling you it isn't out yet, because the flu has been going around here since before school started in late August. Granted, it isn't bad yet, but they talked about it on the news just after the first day of classes.
The fact that the flu is here is bad for Dallas, since they now have a second Ebola case, and it seems like the flu at first and people panic any time they start getting sick.
I got my flu shot several weeks ago and it didn't hurt when I got it, but it did make a lymph node under my arm swell up slightly. Since it was time for my BSE I found it and panicked slightly, but realized it hurt up behind my arm and around to the injection site so figured out what it was. I kept an eye on it for a week, even after it went down and it is fine now. Yes, I am still monitoring it. Everyone should be doing monthly BSEs.(There is my October Breast Cancer Awareness plug)
