Reasons for Flu Vaccination, A large percentage of men and women get vaccinated for three reasons. The main reasons for getting the flu vaccine were simply to avoid getting infected with the flu virus. A large percentage of men and women also get vaccinated, even if they are infected with the flu, they still want to get vaccinated to prevent symptoms from getting worse. A large proportion of women reported living with family members at high risk of the flu becoming severe, such as children, the elderly or pregnant women. The flu is a serious illness that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death. Every flu season is different and flu infection will affect everyone differently. Even a healthy person can become very ill from the flu and spread it to others. Over a period of time in late '76 and '07, it is estimated that there were approximately 3,000 to 49,000 influenza-related deaths in the United States. During this period, influenza viruses circulate in the population. An annual seasonal flu vaccine can be either the flu vaccine or the nasal spray flu vaccine. This is the best way to reduce your chances of getting the seasonal flu and passing it on to others. If more people get the flu vaccine, fewer people will get the flu and spread it in that community. How does this affect public health? The flu affects the health of the public because it spreads easily from person to person. Even if you don't feel sick, you could still get the flu and if left untreated, it can be very deadly. What's also bad if people don't get vaccinated is that they can catch the flu from their work colleagues or just people walking down the street and bring this illness home..... . in the middle of a paper......es. Asking the person if they can eat eggs without adverse effects is a good way to check for an egg allergy. Ask about any health conditions, including any current acute illness, and adverse events, including GBS, after previous doses of influenza vaccine. IM injection procedure: First wash your hands with soap and water and dry them. Put on gloves, open the alcohol wipe, and wipe the area where you plan to administer the vaccine. Do not touch the area after wiping it with the alcohol wipe, also allow it to air dry. Prepare the needle, hold the syringe with your writing hand and remove the cover with your other hand. Hold the skin around where you will give the injection. Insert the needle into the muscle, use your wrist to inject the needle through the skin and into the muscle at a 90 degree angle. Inject the medicine then remove the needle and dispose of it properly..
