The seasonal flu affects hundreds of thousands of people every year. The flu shot is developed to combat the worst effects of the virus; in fact, the flu vaccine prevents millions of illnesses and flu-related doctor visits every season. The flu shot can prevent you from getting the flu entirely or reduce the severity of your illness if you still get sick. It is one of the most important preventive tools for people with certain chronic health conditions, including heart disease, lung disease, or diabetes.
