Common misconceptions about the infuenza vaccineThere are a number o common misconceptions or myths about inuenza (u) vaccination.These include the ollowing.

MYTH: The fu vaccine gives me the fu

Some recent research indicates that about 20% o the population believe this myth. Theact is that the u vaccine is not a live vaccine and cannot give you the u virus. Mild ulike symptoms that may occur ater immunisation are signs that your body is mounting animmune response which provides protection rom the u virus.

MYTH: I am healthy so I dont need to be vaccinated

Healthy people may still become quite ill rom a u inection and will oten need severaldays o work or school. Some healthy people, such as pregnant women and young peoplehave been especially aected by swine u. Getting immunised will also help protectpeople in the community who are vulnerable, such as the very young and the elderly.

It is important to be vaccinated now as the u season is upon us and it can take up to twoweeks to gain ull protection.
