Quick Flu Facts:
- Anyone who wants to reduce the likelihood of becoming ill with influenza or spreading influenza to others should receive the seasonal flu vaccine!
- Flu shots are about 70%-90% effective in preventing the flu.
- Get a flu vaccine every year because each year’s flu vaccine is different.
- Most people have no side effects from a flu shot. When reactions do occur, they typically include soreness at the injection site or mild flu-like symptoms, but its NOT the flu-just a reaction to the vaccine.
- All viruses in the vaccine are killed and cannot infect you. It is not a “live” virus
