Does getting a flu shot hurt?

You will feel a little sharp poke and sting with the intramuscular (IM) flu vaccine. Afterward it might get a little sore at the site of the injection. It's much better than getting the FLU, though There is now a new form of flu vaccines (called Fluzone ID in the US) available for the 2011-2012 flu season that uses a "Microinjection system" to inject the vaccine between the layers of skin.

This new type provides: Improved acceptance by needle-averse individuals Needle is not readily visible to the patient Needle size 90% smaller than IM needles, 30 gauge Needle depth 1.5 mm Smaller amount of vaccine solution injected 0.1 mL Less antigen per injection, 27 mcg compared to 45 mcg IM Trials indicate less pain with injections Can cause more local injection site symptoms of mild to moderate redness, swelling, and other site reactions than IM, for 3-7 days than IM Fewer systemic reactions (fever, headaches, muscle aches, etc. ) than IM 75% of trial participants were very satisfied 96% of clinicians giving the ID vaccines would recommend that method.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
