Winlock resident Trent Swanson hated getting his flu shot.
A bad reaction to a flu vaccine three years ago deterred Swanson from getting another one, but he had managed to avoid getting sick without a shot ? until he caught the virus. Swanson, 36, has been in a medically-induced coma since Jan. 23, after catching the H1N1 flu, the deadly strain commonly called ?swine flu.?
Swanson?s coma has brought his family?s life to a standstill, and his father, Bruce Swanson, said he hopes others will learn from his son?s plight and get vaccinated.
