Topic: Flu Shots

Guest: Dr. Shelley Feldman of Prima Pedriatrics

Dr. Shelley Feldman of Prima Pedriatrics joins our Morning Drive program to discuss the benefits of getting your flu shot early in the winter season.

Some parents may be staying away from flu shots for themselves and their children because they got sick after their last flu shot, but according to Feldman, that means they simply got it too late.

“It takes two to four weeks for the immune system to beef up to be able to work after the shot,” she said. “If you get sick right after your flu shot, it has nothing to do with the shot… You cannot get sick from a flu shot; it’s a killed vaccine.”
