Flublok is a unique influenza vaccine that offers protection against the flu virus for the 2016-2017 season. Unlike traditional flu vaccines, Flublok does not contain any live influenza virus, antibiotics, eggs, preservatives, or latex. This makes it an ideal option for individuals with allergies or sensitivities to these components.
The 2016-2017 formula of Flublok is specifically designed to target the strains of influenza virus that are predicted to be most prevalent during the upcoming flu season. By receiving this vaccine, you can significantly reduce your risk of contracting the flu and experiencing its unpleasant symptoms.
Flublok works by stimulating your body’s immune system to produce antibodies that can recognize and fight off the influenza virus. This helps your body mount a strong defense against the virus if you are exposed to it in the future. It is important to note that Flublok is not a guarantee against getting the flu, but it can greatly reduce the severity of symptoms if you do become infected.
As a medical professional, I recommend Flublok to my patients as a safe and effective way to protect themselves and their loved ones from the flu. It is especially important for individuals who are at higher risk of complications from the flu, such as young children, elderly adults, pregnant women, and individuals with chronic health conditions.
If you have any questions or concerns about Flublok or the flu vaccine in general, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or your healthcare provider. Your health and well-being are our top priorities, and we are here to support you in making informed decisions about your healthcare.
