Influenza Vaccination Myths and Realities 38 © Copyright, The Joint Commission
Standard IC.02.04.01 Influenza Vaccination Myths and Realities: Myth 1. The flu vaccine can cause influenza. Reality The injectable flu vaccine does not contain the live virus so it is impossible to get influenza from the vaccine. The nasal spray flu vaccine contains live, attenuated (weakened) viruses that can cause mild signs or symptoms. 2. The flu shot doesn’t work. The influenza vaccine will prevent influenza most of the time. In scientific studies, the effectiveness of the vaccine ranges from 70 to 90 percent, depending on how well the circulating viruses match those in the vaccine. 3. Our staff follows Standard Precautions, with good hand hygiene practices and appropriate glove and mask use. Influenza is spread by respiratory droplets generated when talking, coughing or sneezing. Adults shed influenza virus at least one day before any signs or symptoms of the disease. 39 © Copyright, The Joint Commission
