We had the bird flu (2009) back in December. My wife had the flu shot and I abstained. First week symptoms and duration were identical. I did have a lingering cough longer than her but this is typical. The flu shot was a swing and a miss this round. I am more likely to cough, she is more likely to hurl. I attribute this to lung damage while training in SoCal during the worst smog events in US history 1968-1974.
