Turkeygirl Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I'm asking because even I, a nurse, is not sure,lol. I got my seasonal and H1N1 flu stuff last Friday. Next Thursday is a blood drive at the college and I usually try to donate when possible. Thing is, is doing so going to take away my Seasonal and H1N1, hence less effectiveness as my body builds antibodies for them? Just wondering if anyone has a clue?lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doe-ee Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 The following is a list of some of the very nasty side effects that the vaccine package insert admits to..... *Local injection site reactions (including pain, pain limiting limb movement, redness, swelling, warmth, ecchymosis, induration) *Hot flashes/flushes *Chills *Fever *Malaise *Shivering *Fatigue *Asthenia *Facial edema. *Immune system disorders *Hypersensitivity reactions (including throat and/or mouth edema) *In rare cases, hypersensitivity reactions have lead to anaphylactic shock and death *Cardiovascular disorders *Vasculitis (in rare cases with transient renal involvement) *Syncope shortly after vaccination *Digestive disorders *Diarrhea *Nausea *Vomiting *Abdominal pain. *Blood and lymphatic disorders *Local lymphadenopathy *Transient thrombocytopenia. *Metabolic and nutritional disorders *Loss of appetite. *Arthralgia *Myalgia *Myasthenia *Nervous system disorders *Headache *Dizziness *Neuralgia *Paraesthesia *Febrile convulsions *Guillain-Barré Syndrome *Myelitis (including encephalomyelitis and transverse myelitis) *Neuropathy (including neuritis) *Paralysis (including Bell’s Palsy) *Respiratory disorders *Dyspnea *Chest pain *Cough *Pharyngitis *Rhinitis *Stevens-Johnson syndrome *Pruritus *Urticaria *Rash (including non-specific, maculopapular, and vesiculobulbous). I wouldn't want to pass any of these on to already sick people, so personally I would wait the 2 weeks out before giving blood. You'll be safe after that.
