Best Answer

The A-H1N1/09 "Swine Flu" shots and nasal spray are being provided by the US government without charge. If the vaccination is being given by a private provider (your doctor, at a clinic, a pharmacy, etc.), they may charge a fee for administration of the vaccination, but they will not charge for the vaccine medication itself.

Seasonal flu vaccinations are not provided by the US government for free and the recipient, if not covered by insurance, would be responsible for the costs of the vaccine and any associated administration fees.

Are flu shots a government conspiracy?

They are not a conspiracy in any negative way. The government does want citizens to take the flu shots, so they don't get sick with the flu. The flu kills, and also has economic impacts when workers are off sick and production goes down. There are good reasons to want people to take flu shots, which only help your body do what it would normally do anyway, except the vaccinations do it without making you sick in the process of creating the immunity.


Do flu shots contain live bacteria?

No, there is no live bacteria in flu shots. Flu shots are to prevent the flu which is caused by a virus, not bacteria. The various flu vaccines contain pieces of viruses that are treated to be able to give you immunization, but not make you sick from the virus contained in the vaccination. The flu shots contain inert ("dead") viruses or pieces of viruses instead of whole particles. The flu mist used in the nasal vaccination is made with active ("live") but weakened viruses that can not make you sick if you have an otherwise healthy body and immune system.
