The Truth Behind the Flu Vaccine What Your Doctor Wont Tell You
November is here and so are the beginning of runny noses, sore throats, and Flu Vaccine advertisements. It seems as though vaccines are becoming a hot topic now a days, it is one of the most controversial topics in the healthcare field. As someone who is passionate about health, I wanted to find out the facts for myself, and it amazes me how much information is withheld from general knowledge. I doubt most doctors know what most vaccines consist of, sure the ¨main intentions¨ of a vaccine are good, but unfortunately it isn´t that plain and simple. We can´t just get poked with a needle and all of a sudden have super powers that protect us from all harm. Sadly, that is what is conveyed most of the time, and to the general population who looks to doctors as an all knowing, all perfect being, they will listen to anything they are told and follow orders given. I hope this will encourage you to get both sides of the story and become fully educated about the whole story of the flu vaccine, how it functions, what it does to our bodies, and the hidden and serious risks involved.

Flu Vaccines More Important Than Ever
The 2010/11 flu season comes in the wake of an unprecedented amount of media attention on flu. This year everyone has heightened awareness regarding the dangers of influenza and the need for an annual flu vaccine. And with recently expanded vaccination guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), even more people are being urged to schedule an annual flu vaccine shot. The newly expanded guidelines help eliminate confusion about who should get a flu vaccine shot: everyone ages 6 months and older is now advised to get the universal vaccine. For FFF Enterprises, the national largest and most trusted distributor of flu vaccine, getting this message out has become a top priority. FFF Enterprises, located in Temecula, Calif., has made a mission out of “helping healthcare care,” which includes protecting people from the deadly complications associated with the flu. Even though flu awareness is higher, FFF says increasing flu vaccine compliance remains a challenge, since every year many people still buy into common flu vaccine myths. Frequently cited reasons for avoiding the flu vaccine include the belief you can catch the flu from the vaccine, or that if you were vaccinated last year you don’t need another [...]
Flu Vaccine Saves Lives
The 2010/11 flu season is already underway and health experts agree that getting a flu vaccine is the best way to prevent the spread of the flu virus.

Autism and the Swine Flu Vaccine
Parents of children with autism are acutely aware of what vaccines could mean for their sons and daughters. Many are concerned about routine vaccinations, but you should also be aware of the possible dangers of the swine flu, or Influenza A(H1N1) vaccine, in particular. This vaccine has been rushed to market, so to speak, in order to meet the public and government demand for protection from the swine flu. GlaxoSmithKline says that “clinical trials will be limited” due to government demands and that “additional studies will therefore be required and conducted after the vaccine is made available”. Trials are expected to begin on August 17th by testing the vaccine on 12,000 children between the ages of 3 and 8. Then, 60 to 80 million doses are expected to be administered by mid-September. Officials have admittedly “guessed” at the proper dosage to rush the vaccine to market by the time school has started. They will not know of the vaccine’s effectiveness or side effects until the initial wave of testing is complete, but they do expect that two vaccinations will be necessary. They are confident in the process by which the swine flu vaccine has been derived because it is made [...]
Healthcare Providers Can Still Buy Flu Vaccine for Busy Flu Season
Every flu season is unique. Different strains circulate each year, and consumer demand changes as well. This year, even flu vaccination guidelines have changed; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is urging all people 6 months and older to schedule an annual flu shot. And since flu season can stretch well into early spring, now is still a good time to plan flu clinics and buy flu vaccine. This year’s seasonal flu vaccine offers protection against the H1N1 pandemic strain, giving consumers further motivation for compliance. There is also a new high-dose flu vaccine for those who are age 65 and older. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people 65 and older account for about 90 percent of the deaths from flu-related causes each year. This new high-dose flu vaccine will help protect this vulnerable group, and ultimately save lives. Healthcare providers are encouraged to buy the new high dose flu vaccine for seniors. In 2006, FFF Enterprises, the nation’s largest and most trusted influenza vaccine distributor, launched an innovative program-MyFluVaccine (www.MyFluVaccine.com) – to make it easier for healthcare providers to buy the flu vaccine they need. With MyFluVaccine, customers can choose from a broad [...]
