Flu Shot Alternatives


With flu season fast approaching, and pharmacies and physicians announcing the availability of the flu shot, those who are healthy now have the option to receive an extra level of protection from the flu.

But what are your options if your immune system won’t allow you to take it? What should you do if you are on medication that weakens your immunity? What if you are sick right now and your body cannot tolerate it? Or worse still, what should you do if you're allergic to the ingredients in the shot?

First, good hygiene is always a great first line of defense. Washing hands frequently, avoiding contact with those who are sick, and if you must be around those who might be contagious, wear a mask.

Second, seek help immediately if you show signs of unusual congestion, lack of energy, sore muscles, headaches or fever. The earlier the flu is treated, the better, and the fewer complications may result from it.

Third, you can take steps every day to remove airborne viruses and bacteria from your air with a medical grade HEPA air purifier. Removing airborne viruses and bacteria can greatly reduce your chances of colds and the flu catching you. Just knowing that the air is constantly being filtered of airborne contagions (as small as .3 microns) can provide enormous peace of mind.
