Influenza Viruses and Flu Vaccination: Understanding Your Immune System
Should you get vaccinated against the flu this year? That is the question we are trying to answer in this episode of Travelling Science!
We will be discussing how the influenza virus spreads between us and what you can do to protect yourself from getting sick this winter, vaccinated or not.
We will also talk about how the flu vaccine works, what it contains, and why we need a new influenza vaccination every single year.
