There Is No Reason To Not Get A Flu Vaccine

When my roommate got sick one of the first things I did was make an appointment to get a flu vaccine. There was just no way that I was going to be in the same pain that she was in. I never knew how bad the flu can be. You are in complete physical pain. There was absolutely no way that she could do anything while she was sick. Once I got to the doctors I was given one of two options for my vaccination. There is a simple flu shot which contains inactivated vaccine contained killed viruses and is recommended for healthy people who are at a higher risk of getting the flu. The second type of vaccine is a flu nasal spray. The nasal spray is made with living, weakened flu viruses which do not cause the flu and is suggested to people between the ages of 2-49. I chose to go with the nasal spray to avoid being poked at with a needle. Thankfully I have been healthy and active since.
