Flu Shot Facts: Dr. Kurtis Woolf Sets the Record Straight

Yeah, well, probably the biggest misconception about the flu shot is that you can get the flu from the flu shot. Yeah, it's definitely the time of year that you're going to get a cold and the flu won't protect you against the common cold.
As the chill of winter approaches, so does the inevitable cold and flu season. In this episode of 'The Daily Diagnosis' podcast, family medicine expert Dr. Kurtis Woolf joins hosts Parker and Tim to clear up some of the most common myths about the flu shot. Ever wondered if you can catch the flu from the vaccine itself? Dr. Woolf tackles this head-on, explaining why it's impossible and what reactions you might actually experience instead.
He dives into why some folks feel a bit sore after getting the shot and why good hand hygiene is still your best defense against germs. You'll also hear about who should avoid the flu shot, like those with severe allergies or certain medical conditions. Dr. Woolf doesn't stop there; he breaks down the differences between a nasty cold and full-blown influenza, emphasizing that the flu can be dangerous, especially for vulnerable groups like young children and the elderly.
If you're curious about how effective the flu shot really is or whether antibiotics can help with flu symptoms, this episode has got you covered. Tune in for a straightforward, no-nonsense guide to staying healthy this season, packed with practical advice and expert insights from Dr. Woolf.
