Here's some background information about the flu vaccine, courtesy of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
- The injected vaccination contains a killed virus. It is approved for people over the age of 6 months.
- The nasal form of the vaccine is made with a weakened virus, and is approved for people ages 2-49 years. It's not recommended for pregnant women.
- Approximately two weeks after the vaccination, your body develops the antibodies needed to protect itself from specific strains of the flu virus.
- Flu season generally runs from October through May. The best months to be vaccinated are October and November, but you can still be vaccinated later.
- You cannot get the flu from a flu shot, but minor side effects may include swelling, low-grade fever, and aches and pains.
- Similarly, you cannot develop full-blown flu from the nasal spray vaccine, but minor side effects may include runny nose, headache, and sore throat.
