How do they make Flu shots in They says every year Flu
viruses are differnt so we
need differnt updated Flu
shots too,But that allways
makes me wonder how do they
make Flu shots in well advance
before actual Flu season
starts and it's able to
prevent people from getting
Flu?Anyone know?

It's always flu season somewhere. Doctors and scientists check out what types of flu are going around the world and predict if it will come here. The can follow the virus around the world. Great question. |

How could I set up a clinic to I am a RN and work in a
hospital. I think a flu shot
clinic would protect my home
town from a flu epidemic. The
population is approx 600
people. Do you have to be
someone special to order flu
shots from wherever they come
from. How do the clinics and
hospitals and health
departments get the shots? Do
you have to pay for them? How
much does a flu shot cost.? I
get them free at my place of
employment.
Judith, I am an RN x 12 years
in the Oncology field and was
actually informed by a nurse I
had to get a flu shot in
October mandatory because I
work in a high risk area as
well as a TB test etc......A
doctor did not order it. I
also have been vaccinated for
hepatitis B, and a doctor did
not order it. You are one of
those crazy people who thinks
doctors own the world.
