I would still go. You could catch the flu at home/school. They are saying the flu shot is only 30% effective this year so even if you got the flu shot you can still get the flu. The shot wasn't the right strain. I always bring lysol wipes and disposable vinyl gloves (sell boxes in the first aid section) so I'm not touching the germs when I wipe down the airplane arm rests and tray. Then I put all of it in a sandwich size ziploc bag and throw it out (so I don't have used wipes all over the floor of my airplane seat.) I do the same at the hotel with the tv remote, light switches and door knobs. Do a lot of hand washing and don't touch your face. That's the only germ prep I do. oh and I use hand sanitizer a lot (I don't use it at home since I have eczema on my hands and the alcohol in the hand sanitizer bothers it but using it just for a week I can put up it with the itch!) Also lysol wipe down your cell phone. And another poster said take showers before bed - I do that too! Get the park germs off! I would still go. If you stay home and got sick anyway you would be kicking yourself. Sorry your DH got so upset.
