  • HOW FLU VACCINES WORK

The flu vaccine is made up of inactivated, non-infectious versions of the flu virus which expose you to just enough of the virus so that your body develops antibodies that fight the flu virus.

When you get the flu vaccine, your body develops antibodies against the strains of the flu virus that have been included in the vaccine, a process that takes about two weeks.

Each year the flu virus mutates a bit, so that is why you need to be vaccinated every year.
