Question: Why is it necessary for asthmatics to get a flu shot!?
I got one last year, I didn't get the flu but I got another virus!. Is it really worth it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
asthmatics are urged to get a shot as you are more prone to being affected by it

this is the case as asthmatics have weaker lungs, airways and breathing capacity to everyone else

due to the flu targeting these areas of the human body , this virus targets these weaknesses therefor effecting you more seriously, or letting you catch it easier

in other words the flu puts more stress on your airways then if a non asthmatic person caught itWww@Answer-Health@Com

There are always new strains of the flu virus each year, that is why sometimes the flu shot is ineffective!. However, most doctors still recommend the flu shot to their patients with respiratory illnesses, the elderly, those with immune related diseases, etc!. This is not only to protect against the flu virus, but to alleviate the symptoms as well, if the virus is contracted!. It's just an added bit of protection!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

because your lungs are not functioning at 100% with asthma the flu is more deadly for you to catch then a non asthmaticWww@Answer-Health@Com

Not worth but if effected has to faceWww@Answer-Health@Com
