Here's a step-by-step guide for washing your hands.
Flu season is upon us again, so let’s set the record straight: The flu shot can’t give you the flu. Still, like any vaccine or medication, your annual jab does come with the potential of flu shot side effects. In most cases, this translates to a sore arm, but there’s even a chance you won’t experience that. “The majority of patients really don’t have any side effects,” says Sandra Kemmerly, M.D., system medical director for hospital quality at Ochsner Health System in New Orleans.
Can people have allergic reactions to the flu shot? Allergic reactions can occur with any vaccine including influenza, though these reactions are very rare, says infectious disease expert Amesh A. Adalja, M.D., senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. There are people who may experience an allergic reaction to the flu vaccine or its components, such as gelatin, antibiotics, or other ingredients.
