The claim of antifreeze being in vaccines appears to come from the use of octylphenol ethoxylate (Triton X-100) (in Fluzone) or octoxynol-10 (Triton X-100) (in Fluarix) since this name looks similar to polyethylene glycol. This includes adults who are healthy up until getting the flu and it includes children with no underlying conditions (plenty of unfortunate stories here)
Nasal congestion may limit the vaccine's ability to reach the nasal lining.Are there side effects? Mild side effects usually begin soon after you get the vaccine and last one to two days. VICP provides compensation for vaccine-related injury or death claims for covered vaccines given on or after October 1, 1988.Can I get the flu from the vaccine?No, you cannot get the flu from the flu shot or the nasal spray
If I have a family member at home who is sick with 2009 H1N1 flu, should I go to work? Employees who are well but who have an ill family member at home with 2009 H1N1 flu can go to work as usual. However, because severe illness and deaths have occurred among people 65 and older and because supplies of 2009 H1N1 vaccine have increased dramatically, CDC is now encouraging all people 6 months and older, including people older than 65, to get vaccinated against 2009 H1N1
Vaccination is particularly important for people 65 and older who are especially vulnerable to serious illness and death, despite the fact that the vaccine may not work as well in this age group.How effective is the flu vaccine in children?In general, the flu vaccine works best among healthy adults and children older than 2 years of age. However, even during years when the vaccine match is very good, the benefits of vaccination will vary across the population, depending on characteristics of the person being vaccinated and even, potentially, which vaccine was used.Each season researchers try to determine how well flu vaccines work to regularly assess and confirm the value of flu vaccination as a public health intervention
The components of your immune system are also better circulated, which means your immune system has a better chance of finding an illness before it spreads. Sometime this fall, we hope to launch a vitamin D testing service through Lab Corp that will allow you to have your vitamin D levels checked at your local blood drawing facility, and relatively inexpensively

I am told that I should see some improvement before the end of the week, and to be honest I'm feeling so utterly dreadful that it couldn't come a moment too soon
