Question: What are your views on the 'flu jab' due to have one soon!. Not sure how beneficial it is!.!?
Answers:
Everyone has an opinion when it comes to the flu shot!. I've had tons of people tell me they get sick from it, or even get the flu from it!. Every year the manufacturers of the vaccine are guessing which strain to protect you from, so there's always a possibility you could still get it even after getting the "jab!."
In my experience, the last 5 years that I've had the flu shot, I have not had the flu!. I'll be getting one this year as well!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I get a flu shot every year, and have not had the flu since I started getting the shot!. (I do feel like I have a cold for about 5 days after I get the shot, but that's all!.) It may not be 100% effective for everyone, but at the very least, it could reduce the length and severity of symptoms if you do get the flu!.
People who are allergic to anything in the shot should not get it, but otherwise, everyone should get flu shots! Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's a good idea to have the flu-jab if if you have certain conditions/diseases that would put you at an increased risk of developing complications or problems if you were to get the flu!.
This includes; everybody aged 65 and over, people with certain diseases of the lung- Asthma for example, heart, kidney, liver and nervous system!. Front line health care providers and main carers of an elderly or disabled person should also get the vaccine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) puts out basic information/fact sheets regarding flu shots!. People with certain chronic medical conditions, within certain age groups, or who are in contact with sick people a lot (e!.g!., if you work in a hospital or nursing home or live with someone who has a serious medical condition like cancer) are going to benefit the most from getting a flu shot!.
I've been getting these shots for the past 12 years!. I have worked in hospitals and also in large healthcare companies where a lot of people use the same kitchens, office machines and restrooms!. I also was diagnosed with asthma 2 years ago!. I find it very beneficial myself!.
Perhaps you should check the CDC or your local health department's web site for information on the flu shot to see if you fit into one of the groups for whom the shot is recommended!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is very effective with minimal side effect risk, BUT it does depend on the educated guesses of the manufacturers in choosing the likeliest 3 flu strains likely to cause an epidemic 9 months BEFORE it is going to happen, in order to manufacture it in time to be used!. This is no mean feat!. This is why occasionally there is a variation between vaccines made by different companies!. So far only once about 10 years ago, did they get it wrong and the vaccine used worldwide that year failed to cover the prevalent flu!.

I got a letter this morning inviting me for a jab because I have asthma!. I tend to get the flu once a year but it's normally a flu and sickness bug combined!. The last one was at New Year! I am interested in having it done but I'm not sure if the jab gives you mild flu symptoms!. That would make me re-consider!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i get it every year because i am asthmatic and knock on wood, i don't really get the flu (i get sick but it's not the flu) but i know people who get it and still get the flu because there are many strains and the shot doesn't protect from all! Www@Answer-Health@Com
