hi Eldon.
You may have heard someone say that they're not getting a flu shot because it might cause or increase the risk for Alzheimer's. Are they onto something, or is this a myth?
According to the Alzheimer's Association, the idea that flu shots (or the chemicals within the shots) cause or increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease is a common myth and is false.
Some flu shots contain a small amount of mercury in the thimerosal, the preservative that may be in some of the flu vaccinations. (Single dose flu shots generally don't contain this preservative since they're designed for a one time use when opened.) According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, three governmental agencies and three independent agencies have conducted rigorous research that have demonstrated that the amount of mercury in thimerosal is safe and does not pose any harm, other than minor redness or swelling where you receive the shot.

The wasp sting has probably affected your lymph nodes. If you have NO other symptoms such as hives, a rash, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, it should abate soon. You should initially go to a pharmacy and ask for a suitable antihistamine.

If the pain increases, or does not subside in a day or 2, or you notice any other symptoms at all, go immediately to a doctor or emergency.

You may feel some light flu-like symptoms after getting the flu shot. You might feel some aches and pains and cold like symptoms such as a runny nose, cough or sore throat.
But you should bear in mind that the benefits of the vaccine far outweigh the side effects

: Yes, there are four main types of flu shots available:

1; The traditional flu shot that is injected into the muscle. It contains flu-particles but will not give you the flu.

2; The high-dose shot that is the same as the shot above but contains a higher dose

3; The intradermal flu shot that contains the same vaccine as the others but can be injected just skin deep and can be used on people age 18 to 64.

4; The nasal spray vaccine that can be used on people age 2 to 49. It contains a live, weakened flu virus.

Your doctor will advise you which of the vaccines is best for you.
