Talked to a Dr. friend last week and he said the shot does nothing for you this year.
My thoughts would be to drink lots of water and up your dose of vitamin C and D3. This time of year I am taking a 1000 sized vitamin C, three times a day. Also try letting a piece of ginger stay in your mouth. Candied ginger works good. Just some of my thoughts.
My understanding is the vaccine is designed for the strain of flu that is predicted to be the main problem that year, and this year they got the strain wrong. The flu vaccine doesn't protect you from the flu, it protects you from flu strain X. So even vaccinated you can still get another form of flu, which seems to be happening this year. I'm not sure if being vaccinated for another strain of flu makes it easier to recover from the flu or not though.
Not a medical expert, just poked around on some pro-vaxx and anti-vaxx information, so if something I said contradicts your information, I'm probably wrong. |
Anybody Else?
