Myth 1: I am very healthy, there is no need to vaccinate, and getting sick can improve my immunity.

| Three major mistakes in the flu vaccine, seven common problems |
Compared with the common cold, the flu virus is not a small trouble. The population is generally susceptible, and healthy people will also be recruited. It is characterized by high fever, headache, and body aches. It is more serious than the common cold, it is highly contagious and harmful, and the risk of complications such as viral pneumonia, secondary bacterial pneumonia, respiratory failure, and myocarditis will increase. The idea of improving immunity through infection with influenza virus is very likely. Not worth the candle.
Even if you are healthy, you should consider it for others. If you have an elderly person, a child, or you often go to a public place and get in touch with a weak person, you may be able to transmit the flu virus to others.
Myth 2: I have a cold after taking the flu vaccine. It is useless to use the vaccine.
We have to analyze the specific situation. First of all, in addition to the influenza virus, there are many viruses that can cause symptoms such as fever, cough, and other colds, such as rhinovirus, adenovirus, coronavirus, etc. We must first distinguish between the flu and the common cold.
In comparison, the systemic symptoms of the flu are heavier, and the respiratory symptoms such as sore throat, runny nose, cough, and cough are more pronounced.
Secondly, the protection rate after flu vaccine is not 100%. However, if you get the flu after the vaccine, the clinical manifestations are often relatively light. The chances of serious complications such as pneumonia are also much smaller than those of the flu. It is these serious complications that people are afraid of.
