The flu shot is the flu but it is a small dose of it to build immunity to it. I get it people are afraid of the shot because they will be injected with the flu. How do you build up an immune system to the flu if you don’t get your body used to it? Ok, how many get allergy shots? Yep, allergy shots… let’s talk about them. What are they? Guess what? They are small doses of the allergen you are allergic too! No way! Yes way! They inject you with small samples of the allergen to build up an immunity to it. Your body will learn to recognize the allergen and eventually the allergen won’t kill you. The allergen will become familiar to your body just like in the flu. You say but it is a different strain, well so are allergy shots. Each vial of serum of pollen can be different from your last one. The older we get, the immune system forgets how to protect you, so help you immune system and get your shot.
My son and his wife did not get their shots BUT they made sure The baby got his. Guess what? My son and his wife got the flu 2x last season and yep, the baby DID NOT. It was too bad a 3 year old couldn’t care for his parents. I have not had the flu but I do get colds.
I hope someone reads my blog.
