So #Influenza is really bad in Minnesota right now and I'm seeing people justifying not getting #fluvaccine because "the vaccine gave me the flu." PSA: this is physiologically impossible. The flu vaccine contains deactivated virus--dead virus. It cannot give you the flu.

Whenever I hear people state this definitively, I know they haven't bothered to understand the basic mechanics of how immunity or immunization works. Push back against this idea when you hear it. It is not an opinion or a belief. It is a fact: can't get flu from dead viruses.

And of course the flu vaccine is not perfect--it has to be typed and made each year. It's predictive, unlike other vaccines. But if you've ever suffered through flu or seen a child suffer from it, you'll do anything to decrease your chances, even by 10%.
