How effective is the flu vaccine?Ìý

No vaccine guarantees 100% immunity, levels of protection vary from person to person.ÌýÌý

However, studies have shown that the flu vaccine helps prevent you getting theÌýflu. If you have had the vaccine, and get flu, it is likely to be milder and shorter-lived than it would otherwise have been.ÌýÌý

Flu vaccines have an excellent safety record. They are the best protection we have against an unpredictable virus. Particularly for groups that are at risk and for whom flu can cause severe illness and deaths.ÌýÌý

Over time, protection from the injected flu vaccine decreases. Flu strains often change and our immunity towards these weakens. New flu vaccines are produced each year, to reflect the changes in strains. Therefore, the NHS recommend having the flu vaccine every year.ÌýÌý
