After much study, the NEJM concluded that what we need is a, "high dose-inactivated vaccine preparation," in their August, 2014 issue. The reason, simply put, is because of the poor performance of the existing flu shots. Of course, it couldn't possibly be because it's impossible to guess what flu strains will be "going around" this year or because as soon as a virus hits our systems, it begins to mutate to our DNA.
The vaccine, which contains four times the standard amount of antigen as the regular shot, is recommended for seniors. Research that has been paid for by the maker of the drug/flu shot shows that the new vaccine is better. Here, the word, "better," is relative.
Both groups (high and regular potency vaccine) had the exact same hospitalization rate. Rates for pneumonia were slightly less in the super-potency group. However, two people in that group contracted "vaccination-related neurological sequelae," aka, nerve damage. One contracted cranial nerve palsy and the other, acute encephalomyelitis.
Personally, I'd rather strengthen my immune system in order to avoid any virus and MediHerb and Standard Process has some fantastic immune system builders. I also recommend using the nasal colloidal silver spray on a regular basis to keep the sinuses and nasopharynx clean and happy.
Happy Winter!
