zyprexa nausea That???s a great question, and it???s one we hear every year. And I think there???s a couple ways to answer that question. I???ll start by saying, the flu vaccine cannot give you the flu. The vaccine includes either a killed version of the virus, or a component that???s been altered in a way such that it???s not infectious. Some of the new vaccines have just a small component of the virus, one single protein, and not the virus at all, so they cannot be infectious. There???s one vaccine formulation that???s brand new this year, that???s a purified protein vaccine, and it contains a small part of the influenza virus, just a protein essentially, and that helps provide immunity from influenza. So, it???s non-infectious. It cannot give you influenza, and in fact, none of the vaccines can give you influenza.
