Should you skip your flu shot?

Absolutely not, unless you want to risk getting the flu, as long as you are able to get the vaccination. Everyone who can should get the annual seasonal flu vaccination. Unless you are allergic to ingredients in the flu vaccine or your doctor tells you not to get it, don't skip it. If in doubt, contact your health care professional.


Do doctors use the same chemicals for the flu shots?

If your question is asking if licensed US doctors who give flu shots use the same vaccine as is used by the public health organizations and other sources of flu shots, the answer is yes. The only vaccines that any health care professional can administer to you for the flu are the ones that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Doctors get the vaccine from the same sources as all other providers of vaccinations. The vaccine ingredients are the same.If your question is asking if the US doctors who personally take a flu shot use the same vaccines as everyone else, that answer is also yes.

Are you protected if expired flu vaccine was used?

Probably not. Each year the ingredients in the flu vaccine are different, because each year different strains of the influenza virus are going around. They have to make up a new vaccine each year, to be sure it contains all the right strains that will provide immunity for the kinds of flu that are circulating at that time. Since the vaccine for the seasonal flu for this year in the Northern Hemisphere has just been manufactured and released very recently, it would not seem possible for it to be already expired. If you use a vaccine from a prior year (the more likely scenario if the expiration date on the bottle has already passed), then you will not be fully protected against the strains of virus that will be causing flu this year and may be taking something that could be harmful in addition to providing no protection. You should talk to those at the source of the vaccine to find out why the vaccine would be expired.
