LNC Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Ok. Thanks for the help and link. Wrong board too. Sorry about that. His nurse on the phone now w/ the dr office. I'm so upset. I thought washing our hands and face when we got home was enough, didn't think about viral droplets on fabric, hair etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I fear it is true - you best contact his doctors and ask what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read that the flu virus can live on surfaces for several hours - so it may have some into the house on your and your clothes. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 There's a page here about how long flu germs can survive outside the body. I hope that all goes well for you. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yes, I think it is possible. The flu shot prevents you from becoming ill from the flu by teaching your immune system to attack the virus, but it would not prevent you from being sneezed on and having the virus in contact with your hands, clothes, things. Best wishes for your son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
