MYTH #4: “I am healthy and I don’t need a flu vaccine. I have never had the flu.”

FACT: Even if you get the flu vaccine there are still reasons why you might have had flu like symptoms. You may have been exposed to a non-flu virus like the common cold. The flu vaccine can only prevent illnesses caused by the flu. Or you might have been exposed to the flu after you got vaccinated but before you built immunity which takes up to 2 weeks.
Get it, Don’t Spread it!
