Flu Myth Busters
There are many myths circulating about Influenza and the Flu vaccine.
Here are some of the more common ones:
“Healthy people don’t need the Flu vaccine.”
Anyone can catch the Flu. Being fit and healthy does not protect you. Influenza spreads very easily and up to 1 in 5 people still get influenza every year. By having the vaccination you can protect yourself & reduce the chance of bringing it home to a baby, an older relative or someone with a medical condition who could become seriously ill from the Flu.
“The viruses are different each year, so the vaccine doesn’t work”
Each year the World Health Organisation studies the different strains of the Flu around the world. They then develop vaccines to match the strains that are most likely to be circulating during our New Zealand winter season.
“I’ve had the Flu before, so I don’t need the vaccine”
Each year the Flu virus changes, so you need to be vaccinated each year to keep up with the changes.
“The Flu is no worse than a cold”
The Flu is a severe illness, sometimes requiring hospitalisation. A cold is mild and lasts a few days.
“The vaccine can give you the Flu.”
It is not possible to get the Flu from the Flu vaccine. The vaccine is made from broken down parts of viruses. These are not live viruses, and are not infectious. They can’t cause the Flu. If you feel sick after the vaccination the possible causes may be:
- There are many viruses around at the same time as the Flu virus. You can get sick from different viruses.
- The vaccine takes 2 weeks to take effect, so you may have already caught the Flu virus.
- Any vaccine has possible side effects. These can include: redness and soreness at the injection site, fever, tiredness and aching muscles. These side effects can start 6-12 hours after your vaccination, and may last up to 2 days. This often gets confused with the Flu.
“You can still get the Flu even if you have the vaccine”
The vaccine is about 80% effective in protecting against the Flu. The vaccine doesn’t protect against coughs and colds. Often people confuse these with the Flu.
