I'd take a flu mist. The one when it is sprayed up your nose. A lot of people get sick from flu shots.
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.
A FLU nurse is an LPN or RN who administers flu shots.
NO
I have been recently diagnosed with CIDP. I have refused flu shots for the past 10 years because when I would get them I would get sick from the shot then violently ill from the flu later on. I would advise anyone who gets very ill from flu shots be checked by a neurologist for CIDP, indications of neural slowing can be found with an EMG.
Sometimes you can get seasonal flu shots for free. Lots of churches will have days when you can get them free.
You will want to get advice from the baby's doctor before having the baby get flu shots, but infants under 6 months are not given the flu shots. From ages 6 months to age 2, it would be best to be sure the doctor agrees that the child should be vaccinated (although in most cases it is being recommended).
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.
NO
yes pleas
People receive flu shots to build immunity to several varieties of the flu virus.
The flu vaccine is recommended for children and the elderly but nobody is forced to get it. Whether or not to get a flu vaccine is a personal choice.
I don't think it is free.
