I didn't mean to sound snappy.
It could have been gastroenteritis, by the time they took my blood work it was almost 24 hours since I started feeling symptoms and they were subsiding.
I didn't go into all my symptoms here either. Just the stomach part. No one needs to read about the rest, haha.
Regardless,
My philosophy on the flu shot hasn't changed, even if it wasn't the flu. The underlying point was that if you deal directly with the public on an ongoing basis you should get the flu shot. If you don't, you never know when you will deal with large amounts of people over flu season, and thus you should get it as a precaution.
Edit: My philosophy hasn't changed since my last post, it has changed since last week.
