Did you know that the flu is very contagious?  You can easily catch the flu by just being around someone that is infected with a flu virus.  Even if you think your immune system is strong and you are very healthy the flu is easily transmitted.  There are two types of flu vaccinations.  A flu shot which contains inactivated vaccine contained killed viruses and is recommended for healthy people who are at a higher risk of getting the flu.  The second type of vaccine is a flu nasal spray.  The nasal spray is made with living, weakened flu viruses which do not cause the flu and is suggested to people between the ages of 2-49.  Getting one of either vaccination is vital for anyone that has not yet received a flu vaccine.  It will not only prevent you from getting the flu but from spreading it to the people you come in contact with.
