How Do Flu Shots Work?

You’ve probably heard people talking about how important it is to get a flu shot (and they’re right — the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that all healthy individuals receive a flu shot each year). But, have you ever wondered how the influenza vaccine prevents you from getting sick? The seasonal flu vaccine contains the influenza strains that are expected to be most prevalent in the upcoming year, in an inactive or weakened form. When those strains enter your system, your body starts producing antibodies that will help keep you from contracting the sickness in the future. Because it can take up to two weeks for you to become fully protected, the CDC recommends that people get a flu shot before the end of October, so that there will be a long enough window of time before flu season starts in November.

I had to take my son in for an ear infection following a sudden change in temperament at daycare. He was inconsolable the entire car ride but when we got there and by the time we left this care facility he was back to his normal happy go lucky little two year old boy. I highly recommend PhysicianOne Urgent Care.
