Flu Shot Administration: Fill & Download for Free

Real answer.Trump is referring to the July 2009 decision of the CDC to stop reporting H1N1 “Swine Flu” pandemic data from routine testing[1] separate from the seasonal flu. The CDC did however maintain “sentinel sites” with testing to catch any resurgence or the virus. The US had test kits going out to the states just 17 days after the first case of the novel H1N1 virus was isolated in mid March. By the end of April, virus samples were sent to vaccine manufacturers and a vaccine was approved in August.The results of testing found that flu cases were primarily the seasonal flu rather than the H1N1 variety. (H1N1 was over reported because most of it was based on symptoms rather than tests.) The CDC decided that adequate surveillance could be maintained by identifying symptoms of the flu rather than testing. The disease was found to be less dangerous than originally thought. The H1N1 vaccine was included eventually in the seasonal flu shot. As far as I know, H1N1 is still around as part of seasonal flu outbreaks.H1N1 had a death rate of about .02% compared to 1% or higher from Covid-19. Covid-19 is also much more contagious than the flu. The two situations are not comparable, but even in the less severe instance of H1N1, the federal government worked quickly and effectively to combat the illness.I’ve not found any information to suggest that the Obama Administration had anything to do with the CDC decision.See also: No, President Trump, the Coronavirus Is Nothing Like H1N1 Swine Flu EitherFootnotes[1] Swine flu cases overestimated?

Now that it has been discovered COVID-19 antibodies reduce quickly after infection, what does this mean for herd immunity?For reaching herd immunity by vaccine it means that we will probably have to get a Sars-Cov-2 vaccine every year along with the flu shot.It means nothing for reaching herd immunity by infection because it would kill millions and millions of people and is only acceptable to fascist administrations like the Trump administration who officially declared they will no longer try to stem the pandemic in order to leave as big of a disaster as possible to the Biden administration.

It is extremely rare, but a violent allergic reaction is always possible. Its called anaphylactic shock, and will happen within minutes of injecting the vaccine (or anything else —just smelling a peanut will cause this for more people).This is why you are advised to remain on the premises for ten minutes after any vaccination. MDs and pharmacists have the necessary drugs to hand and are trained to save lives should this happen. There must have been cases of people who ignored this advice and collapsed elsewhere, and died for lack of immediate medical assistance.It is extremely rare. Most pharmacists and MDs will go through an entire working career without ever seeing a patient suffer anaphylactic shock following a vaccine administration. Peanuts are far more dangerous!As for the benefit if the flu vaccine, statistical analysis shows that people who are vaccinated typically get flu 40% less often than people who are not. The percentage varies from year to year because flu is a fast changing virus. Also when vaccinated people do get flu, their hospitalization and mortality rates are lower. Far from perfect, but IMO well worth a slightly sore shoulder for a few days.
