Is the bird flu vaccine like a regular flu shot?

Who should get a flu shot?

It would not hurt if everyone got a flu shot really. The flu is something that comes around each and every year and so many people get stricken with the flu and the thing is that if they simply got a flu shot they would not have gotten sick. No one likes to be sick but still people put off getting their flu shot why? One of the main reasons more people do not go in for their flu shot is because they are misinformed about the flu shot to begin with.
