one "b". this year is an extra "b"- available in what we call a quadrivalent vaccine. it's hoped including the extra strain will mean better coverage- last year's vaccine missed a strain that wound up making a bunch of people sick. this new vaccine is mainly intended for kids, who tend to be the ones who are most prone to pick up the "b" strains. btw, this one comes in a nasal spray. if you've avoided flu vaccines because you are allergic to eggs, avoid no more. this year comes a new vaccine that isn't developed with the use of eggs in the lab. when you see everyone else getting their vaccine, hop into line and ask for the egg-free. a turbo-charged vaccine is now available for people over age 65. one of the problems as you hit your older years is that your immune system weakens, so get a flu shot, and your body doesn't even react - no build-up of protective antibodies. this new vaccine contains an "extra" kick, so your immune system will know to wake up and get cooking. finally, if you hate right dave?- there is a new a micro amount into the skin, so you don't feel like someone is driving a arm. the product is called "fluzone intradermal". a flu vaccine is never perfect, and frankly last year's only was about 60% effective. it's hoped these new choices will help more people, especially kids,keep in mind, don't get any vaccine and your protection is 0%- a heck of a lot less than even 60. vaccine, and this fall some extra protection. for the first time, certain vaccines will guard against four strains of flu rather than the usual three. they're called quadrivalent vaccines, and they're so new that they'll make up only a fraction of the year's supply. the quarterback known for his public displays of faith now needs a hail mary tim tebow. and today many people are wondering: is this the end of his n-f-l career?
