The flu vaccine protects against influenza by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies against specific strains of the virus. Administered annually, it comes in several forms: the Inactivated Influenza Vaccine (IIV) as an injection, the Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine (LAIV) as a nasal spray, and the Recombinant Influenza Vaccine (RIV) for those with egg allergies. Annual vaccination helps prevent severe illness and complications, and reduces the spread of the flu, protecting vulnerable populations.
