We are waiting to go to a diabetes clinic in our town. Could his stomach pains be caused by the diabetes?

Is there any information available out there on why one would not get a flu shot, and is there a school of thought out there that recommends not getting the shot? Also, should I and other people around him get a shot, so that we don’t put him at extra risk?
