The Center for Control of Disease and Prevention advise getting a flu vaccination can be the best way to avoid getting the flue. Even with the large amount of statistics to prove their advisement, some people still believe that the flue vaccination can be dangerous to their health.

Even though everyone is entitled to their own opinions and can make their own choices, one needs to remember that it’s always wise to research the facts themselves instead of believing in crazy stories. Not even doctors can predict what a person’s physical or mental reaction to any vaccination will be. The question “does the flu shot make you sick” remains without a certain answer. One health story that is catching everyone’s interest is the story of Desiree Jennings.

Desiree Jennings was a cheerleader for the Washington Redskins. Before she had taken the flu shot, she was very active and healthy. According to her, ten days after she got the shot, her health declined. She had two seizures which she had to go to the hospital for. Afterwards, the doctors diagnosed her the disease known as Dystonia which has no known cure.

A rare disorder left Desiree Jennings unable to walk or talk properly while going forward. She is unable to talk properly while being still, also. However, can talk while running forward and walk backwards fine Even though she is seen on video, many people are calling it a hoax while others are considering this as proof that the flu vaccine is dangerous to people’s health. Desiree Jennings’ doctor cannot say for sure if there is a connection between the flu shot and the onset of her disorder.
