I had the flu when I was little, so my body knows what it is, and how it attacks.
The point of getting a injection of any sort of vaccine is so that the vaccine contains a controlled amount of the virus, disease, or whatever it's going to protect against. Your immune system can initially attack the controlled virus, and by attacking it, it basically makes a copy of the disease's dna, then leaving the immune system with the knowledge of how to protect against it, which is why many people don't really get the flu, but will get the common cold that makes us all feel shitty.
The "common cold" has so many different strands of it's DNA & it mass produces and multiplies itself and will change one tiny little detail and it gets worse and worseee, which is why many of us get sick often during the different seasons.
^ or so some instructor told us at school. I was alittle iffy about what she was saying, but I knew some of it already, like the vaccine info, which is why it's normal to get a small version of the flu after getting the shot.
mneh, i'm not gunna get the shot. I've been feeding myself many vitamin B, C & D pills for awhileeee & built up one badass army of white blood cells (;
