flu
MorenaLinda asked:


How long does a flu shot last?? We are getting them for free at work.

What are the changes of actually getting infected with the flu from the shot (even tho the shot is made up of its weakened and dead viruses)??

If you do not get infected with the flu from the shot, do you at least feel some mild symptoms? (i had mild sympotoms from a yellow frever shot)??

I didnt get a shot last year beucase i’ve always heard that some people get infected (i think you only get infected if you are already sick or something.. thats why they wont let you take it)?

Free flu shots are a nice benefit.

There is ZERO chance of getting the flu from the flu shot. The shot is actually killed or inactivated viruses, so no way to get the flu from the shot.

According to the CDC:
What are the side effects that could occur?
Soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given
Fever (low grade)
Aches
If these problems occur, they begin soon after the shot and usually last one to two days.

I get mine every year. What I do before I get it is take 2 tylenols an hour before i get my shot and a few hours after the shot i take 2 more.
i never had a reaction, just felt a little tired is all.
its worth it in the long run, you dont want to get the flu!
i have heard they last the entire flu season.

This could always involve cleaning of the nails, but this also can include the taking preventative measure. Avoiding wounds from taking place to the fingers will make the hands and nails look perfect.
