You sould have your immunity tested before you have the shot. You may be naturally immune as rubella is a very mild disease for children. If you are hoping to get pregnant you should have the shot and not get pregnant for a month afterwards. If you are pregnant, have the shot straight after the birth and don't get pregnant again for a month. Some women have been pregnant and had the shot (by mistake) and their babies have not been affected, but I wouldn't risk it.
For best results for everyone, get the flu vaccine as soon as it is available in your location each year.
Flu vaccinations are usually recommended for adults about 2-3 weeks prior to the expected appearance of the next flu season. For children under 10 and infants, there is a series of two vaccinations required a month apart. So, the time needed for immunization is expanded for the young ones. Keep in mind that immunity is not immediate from the time of vaccination; it will take an adult 2-3 weeks to develop antibodies against the virus after the vaccine is taken, children will achieve full immunity approximately one month after the second vaccination.
The flu season in the northern hemisphere is from October through March, although, some extend that to say it lasts through May. This usually provides a window for the vaccination from September through March in the US and other northern hemisphere locations. It is the opposite time of year that flu season occurs in the southern hemisphere (April through September).
Usually flu vaccine is available beginning in September in the US. If you don't get the vaccine in advance of the flu season, you can take it during the season at any time. It is usually available up until around March in the US. Taking it after March won't hurt and could help, but the flu season could be over before you achieve full immunity (which still wouldn't hurt since the same viruses may return in future years and the immunity would last a lifetime).
A flu shot clinic is a place where you can go to receive the flu vaccine. During flu season these clinics are set up so that more people can be seen to receive the vaccine.
Flu shot, Chicken pox shot, TDEP shot(tetanus,diptheria, and another virus)
You have to wait until your better then you get the flu shot
People receive flu shots to build immunity to several varieties of the flu virus.
yes
A person with Sarcoidosis not get a seasonal flu shot
Yes, you can still get the flu shot. The flu shot should not be gotten if you are currently ill, but if you are on antibiotics, it is OK to get.
I don't know what your trying to say but i heard in the news that if you receive the seasonal flu shot,your more likely to get the swine flu.
While a flu shot will not be effective against any active flu symptoms it will protect against the other flu strains contain in the shot. Flu symptoms such as high fevers, upper respiratory problems should be controlled but the flu virus in a shot is a 'dead' non-active virus and should not affect or cause any current virus.
Last flu season, 2009-2010, you needed two shots. But this year the seasonal flu shot also protects against swine flu, so, in the US, you only need one flu shot for the 2010-2011 flu season.
no they cant i don know why i dont get it but... no
no you shouldn't the flu is contagious you wouldn't want to get your child sick unless he has the shot for that flu
