Flu Vaccination refers to the administration of a vaccine designed to protect individuals against influenza, commonly known as the flu. This vaccine works by stimulating the immune system to recognize and fight off the influenza virus, thereby reducing the likelihood of infection or the severity of symptoms if infection occurs. Flu vaccinations are typically recommended annually, as the influenza virus can mutate and change from year to year, leading to different strains. The vaccination is especially important for vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, young children, pregnant women, and individuals with certain health conditions, as they are at higher risk for severe complications from the flu. The flu vaccine can come in various forms, including injectable shots and nasal sprays.
