As school approaches, so does flu season, and this year there has been much discussion about a vaccine for the swine flu. Whether or not that particular vaccine becomes available, it is important to learn the facts about typical flu shots.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that people who should be vaccinated each year include:
 Children aged 6 months up to their 19th birthday
Pregnant women
People 50 years of age and older
People of any age with certain chronic medical conditions
People who live in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities
People who live with or care for those at high risk for complications from flu, including health care workers and out-of-home caregivers.
The CDC stresses that the viruses in the flu shot are inactive, so you cannot get the flu from a flu shot, and the risk of a flu shot causing serious harm, or death, is extremely small.
However, a vaccine, like any medicine, may rarely cause serious problems, such as severe allergic reactions. Almost all people who get influenza vaccine have no serious problems from it. Typical side effects include soreness, redness or swelling at the site of the shot, a low grade fever and aches.
Although a flu shot can help avoid certain strains of the flu, not all strains are covered. It is always best to avoid the spread of any germs by promoting hand washing by children and to keep children who are sick home from school. Following these steps can help our students have a safe and healthy school year!
