Know the facts. Stop the myths. Protect yourself. Get vaccinated.
MYTH #1
❌ “The flu vaccine will give me the flu.”
✅ FACT:
The injectable influenza vaccine contains inactivated (killed) virus or viral proteins—it cannot cause influenza. Some people may experience mild soreness, fatigue, or a low-grade fever for 1–2 days. These are normal signs that your immune system is responding.
MYTH #2
❌ “I’m healthy, so I don’t need the flu vaccine.”
✅ FACT:
Even healthy adults can become infected and unknowingly spread influenza to children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with chronic illnesses. Vaccination helps protect you and the people around you.
MYTH #3
❌ “I got vaccinated last year, so I’m still protected.”
✅ FACT:
Influenza viruses change every year, and immunity gradually decreases over time. That’s why annual vaccination is recommended with the updated seasonal vaccine.
MYTH #4
❌ “The flu is just a bad cold.”
✅ FACT:
Influenza can cause high fever, severe body aches, pneumonia, hospitalization, and even death, particularly in older adults, young children, pregnant women, and individuals with diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, or weakened immune systems.
MYTH #5
❌ “It’s already flu season. It’s too late to get vaccinated.”
✅ FACT:
It’s never too late while influenza viruses are still circulating. Vaccination continues to provide protection throughout the flu season.
