Flu vaccine is a good option - The Pilot-Independent - "But before going further, let's dispel a couple of myths...First, the influenza vaccine cannot give someone the flu. It's impossible — the vaccine contains no active RNA and is basically an inactive shell of the influenza virus. However, after receiving the vaccine, some people — primarily those receiving it for the first time — experience a low-grade fever or some minor aches."
Comment: Just out of curiosity, if it contains no active RNA, etc., why is it capable of causing "low-grade fever or some minor aches"?

November 21, 2003 - Dad on trial for murder - Infant's last days described (requires fee) - The Atlanta Journal Constitution - "Chandler's parents brought him for a regular checkup the morning of April 29, 2002. Frankel examined him thorough, and a nurse administered some inoculations. Chandler had a touch of a stuffy nose, and Frankel suggested saline drops for the stuffiness and recommended Tylenol --- infants sometimes develop a low-grade fever after vaccinations."
Comment: It looks like it was just hours later that the infant became comatose.....
