Why vaccination is must? Recognizing the early signs of the flu is essential if you don’t want those viruses to feel like home inside you. The flu is contagious and its virus travels through the air in droplets. Influenza viruses are constantly changing with new strains.

So, antibodies made against flu viruses you've encountered in the past can't protect you from new influenza strains. So it becomes important for you to get vaccinated every season.

Is Vaccination safe? Are there any side effects? Influenza flu vaccines that protect against three flu viruses are called “trivalent”, and four viruses are called “quadrivalent.” According to CDC reports, millions of doses have safely been given to protect and prevent people from influenza virus. It says annual flu vaccination is the best protection against this virus.

Most people aren't having any problems with the flu vaccinations, however, if you have ever had an allergic reaction after vaccination, then you must ask your doctor about which vaccine is best for you.
