The Pros & Cons Of Getting A Flu Shot
Most people consider the flu (or influenza) to be a typical fever with aches and pains. That fever, however, usually affects 300,000 to 600,000 people a year. About 200,000 people end up in the hospital as a result, and an average of up to 49,000 don’t survive. A flu shot can help prevent you from getting the flu, but rumors of the vaccine giving you the virus and affecting prior allergies have people reluctant to get one.
