In the US, in most states nursing students must work under the direct supervision of an RN in their clinical practice during training. RN's must work under the supervision of a physician. If the nursing student is operating solely on his/her own and has no licensed person supervising them, then they can not administer medications, especially injections or prescription medications to the public. Working in a facility or for a company giving flu shots to the public at health fairs, etc., might allow a student to provide this work in those settings only, but the hiring authority would determine if you could with your qualifications in that state, and they would be responsible for who would be supervising you during your work. But the facility or company would be billing for the medication and for the administration and you would work for them probably for hourly pay. Ask your nursing instructors, who will likely know the regulations that are applicable in your state, or know how to find the information.

Where can you get flu shot?

Is it necessary to get the Swine Flu shot every year?

That will only be needed if a new mutation of the swine flu occurs that the current swine flu vaccine isn't able to prevent. In the 2009-2010 flu season in the US two shots were need, the regular seasonal flu shot and the H1N1/09 Swine flu shot. But in the current 2010-2011 flu season in the US, the seasonal flu vaccination contains the vaccine for swine flu in addition to the other varieties of flu that are expected to be circulating. So only one shot is needed this year for protection in the flu season.


Why get a flu shot?

So you don't get the flu.


How do you get the flu when you already got a flu shot?

There are many different types of flu and the seasonal flu shot only prevents three of the most likely to be circulating flu viruses. So if you happened to get exposed to a type of flu that wasn't in the vaccination, then you could get sick from it.Another reason might be that you caught the flu before you got the flu shot and so there was not time for the shot to work before you got sick.Another reason might be that you got the shot and then were exposed to the flu before your immune system could give you immunity from the vaccination. It takes around two weeks after getting the vaccination for an adult to have full immunity from it. For children under 10, a series of two vaccinations are needed given approximately a month apart, then it takes another few weeks before the body has developed the full immunity, so exposure during any of those time frames before full immunity can cause illness in those children.
