Preventative Flu Shots near Chatham, NJ

The flu shot works by taking a small dose of the virus and injecting it into the body, so antibodies are created. That way, if you come into contact with the virus, your body already has the tools to fight it off. This helps to prevent severe symptoms and the spread of the virus.

Some common symptoms of the flu include:

• Fever
• Muscle/body aches
• Headache
• Congestion
• Coughing
• Fatigue

The flu shot works preventatively to help you avoid getting sick. Some groups of people, such as the elderly, pregnant women, or those with chronic conditions, are more likely to suffer from severe symptoms. By getting a flu shot, you are preventing the spread of germs to these groups.
