Help in finding a way to justify flu vaccine

[Jade]

I agree to at least try to go with the religion aspect. If they refuse to see your choices as valid that's another can of worms I suppose, but it's worth a try.

I've conversed with two people so far who I know have gotten the flu shot this year: my grandma and my little brother (who actually got the nasal spray). Both of them fell ill - my little brother was EXTREMELY ill and weak, vomiting at school, too lethargic to even walk up the stairs at home. I'm glad I'm not in a position where I'm being forced to get one of those, because I'd throw a major fit.

Hey - don't they put like, eggs or something in the vaccine? You could say you are allergic to eggs, or have moral qualms about consuming eggs (vegan or whatnot), or something along those lines...

Good luck, this is a toughie.
