Does anyone get an annual flu shot?
Question:
Answers:
Because the flu virus keeps mutating, and there are several strands of it. They try to figure out which ones are going to be a problem that year and they makes vaccines specifically for them. Sometimes they miss. I remember getting the flu one year even after having the shot because that particular strain wasn't protected against by the shot. But I still take them every year. I had the flu really bad one year. I never want to have it again.
No I don't believe in it.
Its last years strain they are giving you anyways..it always makes you sick...why do I want to get sick!
Its suppose to Not get you sick
There is NO WAY to make a flu shot that is effective against all types of flu.
Each year's flu vaccine is different, and is effective against the
(usually three????) types of flu which are expected to be the most prevalent or most dangerous that year.
There is no known way to make a flu shot which is effective against all viruses, as each virus attaches in a different way, and there can be a virtually infinite number of different viruses and their mutations. New viruses are formed every day.
Any infant, anyone over the age of 65, or anyone with a chronic disease should get a flu shot each year.
