Fun flu facts I learned about today: The flu shot is only about - TopicsExpress



          

Fun flu facts I learned about today: The flu shot is only about 20% effective this season. The elderly, super young, and women that are preggers should get the shot regardless of the numbers. The common strain this season is closely related to H1N1 (Swine flu) strain. You are contagious 5 days after your symptoms begin, no longer. Since it is an aggressive strain, it is not unlikely to experience a sinus infection/chest congestion up to 4-6 weeks after you contracted it. Although I do not currently have the flu, I now realize why I was miserable for a whole month and some change when I had it in late October. As a precaution, I will eat even more raw veggies and fresh fruits til this flu season is over.
