Can someone tell me what exactly is in this flu shot ??

There are many different flu viruses and they are constantly changing. The composition of U.S. flu vaccines is reviewed annually and updated as needed to match circulating flu viruses. Flu vaccines protect against the three or four viruses (depending on the vaccine) that research suggests will be most common.

For 2020-2021, trivalent (three-component) egg-based vaccines are recommended to contain:

A/Guangdong-Maonan/SWL1536/2019 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus (updated)
A/Hong Kong/2671/2019 (H3N2)-like virus (updated)
B/Washington/02/2019 (B/Victoria lineage)-like virus (updated)


Quadrivalent (four-component) egg-based vaccines, which protect against a second lineage of B viruses, are recommended to contain:

the three recommended viruses above, plus B/Phuket/3073/2013-like (Yamagata lineage) virus.


For 2020-2021, cell- or recombinant-based vaccines are recommended to contain:

A/Hawaii/70/2019 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus (updated)
A/Hong Kong/45/2019 (H3N2)-like virus (updated)
B/Washington/02/2019 (B/Victoria lineage)-like virus (updated)
B/Phuket/3073/2013-like (Yamagata lineage) virus

As per the CDC.

What does any of that mean ?? Can you simplify that ??

 

[AQz]

Never had a flu shot. I’m not opposed, but rarely get sick so I’m good on that.

 

[FreedMind]

What does any of that mean ?? Can you simplify that ??

They inject those dead viruses into your body.

 

[Pseudonym]

What does any of that mean ?? Can you simplify that ??

It's hard to simplify without explaining in medical terms but here's a simplified list of components

• Influenza viruses. Flu vaccines contain tiny amounts of the viruses that the vaccine protects against
• Formaldehyde
• Aluminum salts
• Thimerosal (mercury containing compound)
• Chicken egg proteins
• Gelatin
• Antibiotics

Bro, this literally said nothing

Getting mine on wednesday

 

[number21]

I'm about to pass on that garbage.

 

[Paper Boi]

i never get one in a normal year

i'm working from home now

we in a state where people actually wear masks when they in stores and shyt.

i don't see the need to get one.

 

[FreedMind]

Bro, this literally said nothing

???

How much simpler can it be? The CDC posted the strains in this year's flu shot; the video explained the flu shot is the dead virus being injected. If you don't want to get a shot, get the FUUUUUUCK outta this thread goddamn.

Edit:

Here's a video for kids

 

[23Barrettcity]

Let's go Coli brothers and sisters, let's get our shots, fukk it.

I just went to a Kaiser drive thru flu shot tent, took less than 5 minutes.

Got mine a few days ago feel good
