Do I need to get a flu shot?
The flu is so dangerous for people that it is on the third place among the most treacherous diseases of our time. Therefore, doctors recommend that you vaccinate to avoid the flu and its complications. Meanwhile, up to 80% of US residents prefer to vaccinate, about 10% of the population of Russia, and in Ukraine - up to 1%. There are a lot of rumors about vaccinations - truthful and not very good. Do I need to get a flu shot?
Who needs flu vaccination?
WHO argues that although everyone is sick with the flu, not everyone needs vaccinations. But there are groups of people who need flu shots. It:
- Children from six months who have not yet acquired immunity to colds and whose immune system is still very weak
- People with chronic diseases of the respiratory system (but not in an acute state and without temperature)
- Those who have immunodeficiency
- People who have crossed the threshold of 50 years
Why is it so difficult to get a flu shot?
In the composition of the influenza virus, there are special antigens, the formula and form of which forms varieties of the same viruses. These varieties, to our regret, change their composition every year, because of what it is quite difficult to find an effective vaccine against the flu.
In order for the vaccine to be developed correctly and, accordingly, it is necessary to rely on the doctors' forecasts regarding the likely changes in the structure of the virus. This is quite difficult, so if the vaccine is not properly selected, you can not guess and not protect the person from the flu completely. The fact is that if scientists have not guessed with the vaccine, then it will not have enough antimatter to withstand the flu. With an incorrectly selected vaccine, its effectiveness is reduced by a factor of three - this explains the inefficiency of vaccinations.
What is the composition of the flu vaccine?
As part of the vaccination against influenza viruses are contained, but not alive, but already killed. These viruses, getting into the human body, increase its immunity and cause it to fight with the infection. Having trained on weak viruses, the body instantly recognizes influenza viruses that get to it from the external environment. And easily copes with them. In this - the essence of the vaccine against the flu.
The vaccine differs from the present influenza virus in that it contains too weak viruses or inactivated viruses (generally without virus content). These are inactivated viruses and can give most complications after the flu. After the vaccination, two weeks pass from the flu, and this is the time when the body fully adapts to this type of flu. Therefore, it is better to vaccinate against influenza not during epidemics, but before their onset - beginning in October.
Pros of vaccination against influenza
Vaccination against influenza helps reduce the incidence of influenza in a rather impressive scale - this is a fact. For example, among the elderly people who were vaccinated against the flu, up to 60% later they are not sick with acute respiratory diseases in general. Vaccination from the flu makes it possible not to ache more than 80% of people of all ages who have been vaccinated. Children who were vaccinated against influenza cease to be ill in more than 92% of cases. Vaccination against influenza also reduces the likelihood of complications by more than a third - one of them is a painful otitis for children.
Cons of vaccination against influenza
There are also side effects of flu vaccination. They are related to:
- Incorrect use of the vaccine (not corresponding to the influenza strain)
- Vaccination in those conditions that are prohibited for vaccinations - pregnancy in the first trimester, high fever, acute disease during vaccination
- A negative reaction to vaccine substances that were not taken into account
Consequences of the negative reaction of the body to the vaccine - weakness of the body, redness at the injection site, fever and flu symptoms in mild form - headache, lethargy and so on. With a normal reaction of the body to the vaccine, these symptoms disappear within two days after the vaccination, and In case of complications, a person's condition worsens after 6-12 hours Inoculations.
It is worth knowing that, in addition to vaccination against influenza, there are other methods of prevention: more abundant drinking with vitamins (decoction of rose hips, sea buckthorn, tea with lemon and honey), wearing an antiviral mask, taking multivitamin preparations to maintain immunity, frequent washing hands. They should be used, because in the cold season, a person loses a lot of vitamins - up to 70% of what is needed!
Therefore, using a vaccine against influenza as the only means is wrong. But you do not need to give it up. Especially if you find yourself on the list of people who need flu shots.
Who does not have a flu vaccine?
There are people who do not get a flu shot, because it can cause a number of complications.
- These are people with chronic diseases of the nervous system
- Those who have problems with the genitourinary system (ureter, bladder, kidneys and so on)
- People suffering from diseases of the endocrine organs (thyroid, adrenal, pituitary)
- Those who have heart failure, and clearly expressed
- People with bronchial asthma
- Patients with blood diseases of any age
- Pregnant women before the third trimester of pregnancy
- Those who have an allergy to chicken protein
Vaccination against influenza, introducing viruses into the body, can cause an adverse reaction even in healthy people who do not suffer from the above contraindications.
Influenza in Figures
Today the flu is a real plague of the century. In terms of complications and mortality, influenza is in third place after cardiovascular diseases and cancer. And the flu together with ARVI occupy 95% of infectious diseases. These viruses each year strike up to 500 million people on the planet. Of these people, up to 2 million people die. To reduce these deaths, scientists recommend vaccination.
Vaccination, according to WHO, should protect people from the flu and prevent complications after the flu, not to mention the mortality, which is significantly reduced. The vaccine works, strengthening primarily the immune system.
But, unfortunately, this protection does not always work. As a minus, it is not always right for physicians to select a vaccine, but as a plus, even if the vaccine does not fully protect against infection with the virus, but it makes it possible to weaken its influence on the body.
More on the influenza virus
The flu virus is far from alone. There are at least three of them - the influenza virus A, B, C - as the first letters in the English alphabet. The most dangerous is considered to be influenza type A, epidemics and pandemics are associated with it. Influenza type B is also not a gift - it causes damage to the body in many people, but affects people more locally. The most mild in its impact is the influenza C virus, although it is undesirable to suffer from none of the three types of influenza.

Yesterday there was a film on TVC again about vaccinations - the arguments are FOR and AGAINST.
Recently ridicule advertising of stomatologists about a tooth-paste "And you know, what at you in a mouth bacteria reproduce? "Everybody scolds the antimonopoly service that they allow advertising based on intimidation. So in vaccination for many decades people are being intimidated, for our money you are buying vaccines - if all these billions were spent on the development of medicine and safe treatment.. .
It is characteristic that most doctors are not vaccinated themselves, their children and grandchildren from this save, but not all have the courage to report it, draw a tick.
I am for an informed choice - before playing roulette, you need to get acquainted with the statistics on postvaccinal complications - but it is available to the units.

Read this link to William Endgal: Bill Gates on the "vaccine for population reduction"
"In plain English, one of the most influential people in the world clearly said that he expects a vaccine that will be used to reduce population growth.
The main emphasis in his multi-billion fund is vaccination, especially in Africa and other developing countries. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a founding member of the GAVI Alliance (Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations) in partnership with the World Bank, WHO and vaccine manufacturers. The goal of GAVI is the vaccination of every newborn child in the developing world.
Today it looks like a noble charitable work. The problem is that the vaccine industry has been repeatedly caught by the hand of concealing dangerous consequences (insecurity due to unverified or even proven harmful to health) vaccines for the unsuspecting Third World population when they can not get rid of Western vaccines. (3) Some organizations believe that the true goal of vaccination is to weaken people and make them even more susceptible to disease and premature death. (4)
Pharmaceutical manufacturers of vaccines are silent about the huge health impact of vaccination for children, including autism and Numerous neuromuscular deformities caused by toxic adjuvants and preservatives used in most vaccines. "

My friend nearly got his hands off after this vaccination - she was lying in an extremely difficult condition after her.
Just make a shield of influenza from strong anti-influenza natural remedies - eat more often lemon, dip it into honey or sugar, eat onion fried or in salads, just garlic rub into salads. Drink herbal teas. And more fresh fruit, berries, greens, vegetables, eat.

All vaccinations (absolutely, and this is proven) are HARMFUL!!! When we get sick, we get sick with a small disease, and whoever does not get lucky gets sick really. Therefore, neither myself, nor my children and close relatives for anything in the world will not put inoculations!!! My child's cerebral palsy (an easy form) manifested itself in three years, after a regular inoculation from hepatitis. T. e. just vaccinated provoked an aggravation of this ailment.
In general, the person himself must decide whether or not it is necessary ...
Natalie Gorshanova
Yeah, once stupidly done. Symptoms are the same as with the flu, but there is no temperature. Oh, I figured the same thing, but the hospital did not give. Type, gripe without temperature does not happen and I'm a simulator. So I do not do more vaccinations.
Frau Steiner
Me - definitely not worth it, the doctor banned me categorically. And the example of people close to me shows that the one who did it - will definitely get sick with the flu even in mild form (without heat), and who did not, can not even get infected at all.

NO! I did it last year, then I was lying in bed for two weeks with horrible flu, such a strong remission was for this inoculation, that I will never do it again. If the adult organism reacts like that, then what about the child to say, though, each person's reaction is individual.

Consult your pediatrician, for adults, the effectiveness of this vaccination is not used by 30%. Good luck.

from their practice - all the children in the group after that were completely sick from the vaccination, but safely - during the flu epidemic, except for one child - mine, we do not set habits, but we temper and immunity raise
Nataly
Totally agree with Dmitry Serkov. Too much is known about cases of reactions to vaccinations, in this case it is appropriate to say infection. I just hear that not only that, after the vaccination, it was very hard, they also fell into the epidemic. So get busy strengthening immunity.

Answers:
Inna Orlik
Any vaccination is an additional burden on the immune system, so at the time of vaccination, the child must be absolutely healthy, so that the immune system responds adequately to the vaccination. Ideally, before any vaccination it is recommended to conduct an immunological examination - an "immune passport" and make decisions on the need for vaccination based on the results of the tests. www.immunodiagnostika.ru

Do not worry! I always agreed to vaccinations. I think that you can go to the competitions, and go to the pool again! That's how you set yourself up, so everything will be. I wish you luck and health to your son.

Personally, I did not get sick after the vaccination, last year we (children 3 years old) in the kindergarten did, no complications and no one got sick.

Once already put now why worry, back still can not get. Think about the good. Usually, after the vaccination, the reaction begins in a few hours. Look at his condition if tomorrow he will be healthy why should not he go to the pool ?!
Just LANA
People say (and why it works! ): What are you afraid of, then it will happen!. Therefore, more positive, it is better not to go to the pool tomorrow. Each person has its own non-repeatable immunity, so it is possible that everything will be fine. Good luck and victory!

Nothing terrible will happen, the child is healthy, so it will be normal. But next time be smarter. The benefits of vaccination are no, but the probability of harm exists.

Why do you artificially undermine immunity? The flu can get sick, but maybe not. And after the vaccination 100 percent will be sick.

I would not advise - the virus mutates constantly, so you will be ill, but maybe not so hard

Necessarily it is necessary. Unless of course there are contraindications to you. Vaccination protects not from illness, but from complications that can be very serious, even fatal.
We have a family of doctors and every year we are vaccinated. Probably I would not be able to poison myself.

After a similar vaccination in 2000, I got sick and got bronchial asthma. Since then I have not given flu vaccines.
