Hey Patricia,
I get the regular flu shot every year, but decided NOT to get the H1N1. My son got the vaccination because of his asthma so I figured I would most likely be safe. I really don't get sick anyways *knocking on wood* so I am hoping tha...
My doctor said to get the regular flu shot but not the H1N1 because it had live bacteria in it and with my immune system not working it could trigger the virus.
I went to my Dr recently who was out of the flu shots. I asked him if I needed this H1N1 shot, his words were "I don't see a need for it"
So I asked him "Have you taken this shot" (Mind you he's 80 some years old)..

Hello, I was diagnosed with MCTD in 2006 but I had been sick for almost a year before. The dorms are a bad place to live when you are taking immune suppressants.

Do you have MCTD or lupus? When were you diagnosed?
