I'd take a flu mist. The one when it is sprayed up your nose. A lot of people get sick from flu shots.
A FLU nurse is an LPN or RN who administers flu shots.
Sometimes you can get seasonal flu shots for free. Lots of churches will have days when you can get them free.
They are not a conspiracy in any negative way. The government does want citizens to take the flu shots, so they don't get sick with the flu. The flu kills, and also has economic impacts when workers are off sick and production goes down. There are good reasons to want people to take flu shots, which only help your body do what it would normally do anyway, except the vaccinations do it without making you sick in the process of creating the immunity.
No, there is no live bacteria in flu shots. Flu shots are to prevent the flu which is caused by a virus, not bacteria. The various flu vaccines contain pieces of viruses that are treated to be able to give you immunization, but not make you sick from the virus contained in the vaccination. The flu shots contain inert ("dead") viruses or pieces of viruses instead of whole particles. The flu mist used in the nasal vaccination is made with active ("live") but weakened viruses that can not make you sick if you have an otherwise healthy body and immune system.
NO
yes pleas
There is no "cure" for gastric flu or any other type of flu. Flu shots you get are preventative medicine, they do not cure you of anything.With any flu, you want to drink plenty of liquids, you will have depleted electrolytes and Gatorade is good to help replenish them. But drink water as well.
People receive flu shots to build immunity to several varieties of the flu virus.
The flu vaccine is recommended for children and the elderly but nobody is forced to get it. Whether or not to get a flu vaccine is a personal choice.
I don't think it is free.
Yes. The current shots and mists that provide vaccination for the regular flu do not work for the Novel H1N1 flu. Vaccines are in development by several drug companies under the direction of the World Health Organization, but these are being developed as shots not mists for the innoculations at least at first. For now, the best prevention is good handwashing and following all the other suggestions for prevention.
