If you actually get the flu, and not just a mild reaction to the vaccine (which can seem similar at first), it will most likely be because you:
* Children under 10 need two vaccinations before fully protected, so the time between their first vaccination and when they have had the second and time for their bodies to react to it, is longer than in adults (just under two months total, typically).
no because you just got a flu shot so you wont get the flu
There is much evidence that they are tainted; and one would do well to educate themselves on the matter.
yes. the flu shot only prevents you from dying from the flu
the flu shot was as painful as a bee sting.
So you don't get the flu.
Yes, you can still get the flu shot. The flu shot should not be gotten if you are currently ill, but if you are on antibiotics, it is OK to get.
You have to wait until your better then you get the flu shot
They don't shoot you, and it isn't a 'shot' of a drink, it's a needle in the arm. In the 2009-2010 flu season there was a mist as well as a shot for the vaccination for swine flu. In the 2010-2011 flu season the vaccine for swine flu protection is included in the one vaccination for the seasonal flu.
Yes. In fact, now the seasonal flu shots are combined with the H1N1 Virus flu shot, so you don't have to get two.
it's not the law to not have your flu shot
A person with Sarcoidosis not get a seasonal flu shot
I bet it is to prevent the Flu.
The swine flu shot is used to prevent the flu, not to treat the flu if you already have it. To treat the flu, antiviral medications are more likely to be prescribed, such as Tamiflu.
If the flu is out there and you have not had the shot there is an increased chance you will get the flu. Kids have a smaller ability to resist the flu than adults
Last flu season, 2009-2010, you needed two shots. But this year the seasonal flu shot also protects against swine flu, so, in the US, you only need one flu shot for the 2010-2011 flu season.
