How Do Flu Shots Work?

It’s particularly important for children, the elderly, and anyone with a compromised immune system to receive a flu shot at a walk-in clinic or medical office each year. Without a flu shot, many individuals may be at risk for serious health complications and even death.

Watch this video for information about how flu vaccines work. Flu vaccines work by exposing your body to a small amount of the flu virus, thus allowing your body to build up antibodies and immunity to common strains of influenza.
