Flu shots are available at BJU and most BJU clinics

The World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Chinese Ministry of Health (MOH) all recommend annual vaccination for all against the flu. Even if you aren't at high risk of developing flu complications, you should still get a flu shot to protect yourself, as well as everyone you come in contact with (especially if you are in regular contact with young children, older adults, or sick family members).

To answer your questions regarding flu shots, read this as the BJU's Pharmacist sorts the facts from fiction.
