Re: [FunBBGroup] Re: Flu vaccine is about 10% effective this part of the reason is growin

 

My mom got the flu shot this year and she's really sick now. I made her go to the doctor and she either has bronchitis or pneumonia I'm worried about her. He gave her a bunch of medication and said if she's not any better by Monday to get a chest x Ray.

It is better than nothing ! But 10% is not good !  And close to nothing ! So I think they need to do better ! Just saying !  That is all .

My nephew is a doctor in Minneapolis and had the flu shot and got the flu pretty bad anyway ! He gave it to his wife 

And his three kids! All were vaccinated. So I asked if he recommends it! He said as a doctor I have to. But it does not give you much protection.  He said most years it works around 50%. This year it is flat out a poor match .

I'd rather have a 10% protection than 0%.  So it does what it's intended to.  They guess at what the strains may be.  Educated guessing.  And getting the shot, it helps your immune system get introduced to variants of what may be out there.  So, it's better than nothing at all.

I hope they figure out a way to make the flu shot more effective!  One reason the flu season has been so rough is that it does not work very well..

The last 12y/o boy to die in FL. died from type B which the shot works against. Of course, they didn't give him the shot. I just don't understand people. In the last month or two, I have not had on the tv w/o hearing it is not too late to get the shot.
