Flu Shots Save Lives  

There are many reasons why a flu shot is necessary each flu season, one of them being that it can save your life. Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory disease that can lead to severe illness, hospitalization, or even death. The flu vaccination helps prevent all of these things and can even lessen the number of days that an individual is sick of they do get the flu.  

You Can’t Get the Flu from the Flu Shot  

Many individuals believe the common misconception that the flu shot will give you the flu. The shot utilizes a deadened form of the virus, so this is not true or possible. There are a few mild side effects of the flu shot, like a headache or a stuffy nose but they don’t last long.  

Increases Herd Immunity  

When you make the decision to get your flu vaccination, you are not only protecting yourself, but you are helping protect others. Since the flu virus spreads easily, it can easily be given to others. If more people vaccinate it will be spread less easily. By getting the flu shot you are prioritizing your own health and the health of those around you.  

The Flu Shot is Changed Each Year  

Each flu season the CDC predicts what strains of the flu are most likely to occur that season. Because the flu vaccine is always changing it is crucial that you get your flu vaccine each flu season so you can get the full protection.  

 

If you were on the fence about receiving your flu shot this year, we hope that these reasons can help you make your decision. If you have any questions regarding the benefits of a flu shot this holiday season, please contact our team today!
