MD Getting Flu Vaccine With ‘Extra’ Protection

Flu vaccination is no longer merely a choice between a jab in the arm or a squirt in the nose. This fall, some brands promise a little extra protection.

For the first time, certain vaccines will guard against four strains of flu rather than the usual three. Called quadrivalent vaccines, these brands may prove more popular for children than their parents. That's because kids tend to catch the newly added strain more often.

These four-in-one vaccines are so new that they'll make up only a fraction of the nation's supply of flu vaccine, so if you want a dose, better start looking early.

  6. Over 50 and have had the flu vaccine twice in my life. Got the flu both times and have never gotten the flu when I didn't get the vaccine.

  7. No way, Jose! I have a natural immune system given to me by my Lord and Savior! I eat organic foods, stuff from my garden, and some of the stuff from the grocery stores, Enough said. I don't get the flu and neither do my kids, although I'm sure the flu people will try harder in the future!

    Screw your flue!
