Reply to comment by sciolycaptain in Does the common flu vaccine offer any buffer against H5N1 (Bird Flu)? by Esc_ape_artist

>2009 H1N1 outbreak

I caught that before the vaccine came out. It made me pretty sick (fever, chills, headache, dry cough). My symptoms were typical for that strain. And it was summer, not exactly prime flu season.

In those early days, brain and/or lung involvement was causing severe and even fatal disease and I didn't have that. I stayed in bed and just rode it out.
