Flu Shot: Flu Shots
built 613 days ago
The flu shot contains dead flu viruses; you can't get the flu by receiving a flu shot. It takes about two weeks for the shot to start protecting you against the flu. Since the shot doesn't guarantee 100 percent protection, there is still a slight chance you could get it. But, if you do catch it, you won't become as sick as you would without the shot.

Flu shots are one benefit that makes both employers and employees happy. Employees like the convenience. Employers appreciate happier, healthier employees. Everyone benefits by reducing the likelihood of transmitting the flu to co-workers, family and friends.

The flu shot appointment software works equally well for a smaller company with one location, or a larger company with many locations. The costs of rolling out your flu shot program can be greatly reduced as scheduling issues are minimised with Appointment-Plus. Because it works through the Internet, you don't have to worry about the expensive and troublesome issue of trying to network all of your computers.

An annual flu shot won't protect you specifically from bird flu, but it will reduce the risk of simultaneous infection with human and bird flu viruses. This is important because simultaneous infections are the main way that viruses swap genes and create new strains that potentially can cause flu pandemics.

There has been some concern about reactions to Thimerasol, the preservative in the flu shot. It is used at a very small amount and has not been shown to be a problem. However, if you are concerned about Thimerasol, you can check with your doctor about “preservative free” flu vaccine.
