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"?

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.....
