The holidays are just around the corner! Unfortunately, so is cold and flu
season. Your doctor (or employer,
or school, or next-door neighbor) may be recommending the flu shot, but is that
the right choice???
Flu shots (also available in a nasal spray) are formulated
differently every year, in anticipation of the different strains of influenza
virus that may be circulating that year.
Along with the inactivated virus, flu vaccines also contain aluminum
salts, sugar, formaldehyde, and other antibiotics. Some also contain thimerosal, which is a form of mercury.
As you might expect, getting injected with all of the above
ingredients may cause side effects.
Minor side effects include soreness around the area of the shot, a
low-grade fever, general achiness, a runny nose, headache, sore throat, and a
cough. More serious side effects include neurological and/or neuromuscular distress, reproductive problems, and, yes, even death.
Flu shots are not a guarantee that you will not be infected
with the influenza virus. Studies
have shown the flu shot effectiveness to average around 60%. Influenza strains change from year to
year, and sometimes throughout the flu season, making it impossible to
precisely match the flu shot to the virus that is circulating.
