interval- flu vaccine and the shingles vaccine
Chicken eggs are used as the medium to grow the viruses that are used in the preparation of the vaccine.
Yes, you can get flu vaccine and varicella vaccine at the same time.
No, a flu vaccine triggers our bodies to make our own antibodies. The vaccine includes dead or weakened viruses that can't make us sick, but they will cause the immune response that creates the correct antibodies.
Q-pan is the approved vaccine for Avian Flu or H5N1.
In the US, that would be the vaccine used in the H1N1/09 nasal spray vaccinations. These weakened viruses used to make that nasal vaccine are called attenuated, which means weakened. The weakening is usually done with chemicals. People aged 2 to 49 can use this nasal spray vaccine. Those younger or older should use the flu shots which are made with inactivated ("dead") viruses.
No, the ingredients in the flu vaccine are not harmful to our health. The vaccine is carefully tested and regulated to ensure its safety and effectiveness in preventing the flu.
To make vaccine for a program of vaccinations in a population group, first the scientists need a certain amount of the virus that can be turned into the weakened version of the virus to use in the vaccination. Since viruses are not really alive, and since they need a host to provide cells to do the work of their reproduction for them, the scientists give them the egg as the host and, just like the virus makes our bodies do when we catch a cold or flu, it will make the egg cells do the same thing to make more virus particles so the scientists can grow a supply from which to make the vaccine.For a full explanation of this process, see the related link section below.
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.
What you are talking about is a vaccine that is given by injection so you will not get the flu. The flu mutate all the time so you will need to get vaccines for each new strain. The first vaccine was used in 1940 during WWII.
