In a typical flu season there might be 3 different flu viruses floating around so the Center for Disease Control [CDC] gives out vaccines to protect
from those three.
If H3N2 is in the air, the CDC provides a dead or inactive dose of H3N2 to stop the spread of the disease. Sometimes people get sick from this, as the
CDC is actually giving us a mild form of the virus to help us build immunity.
Imagine a small bird coming to peck at you - you take a pistol and shoot the thing! H3N2 coming at you, H3N2 pistol to stop it.
A flu is described by two numbers, like the 3 and the 2 in H3N2. A typical seasonal flu vaccine protects against three strains of flu: Influenza A
(H1N1), Influenza A (H3N2), and Influenza B, for example. [

The H1N1 vaccine is like taking an entire arsonal to kill the little bird! Not too bad except for one problem - there is A LOT of collateral damage!
If you fire a shotgun at the bird you might just kill an old lady standing nearby.
Instead of firing the H3N2 and H1N1 pistols at this year's bird, the CDC and others have decided to use...
The human H1N1 pistol
The human H2N2 pistol
The human H3N2 pistol
The human H5N1 pistol
The human H7N7 pistol
The human H1N2 pistol
The human H9N2 pistol
The human H7N2 pistol
The human H7N3 pistol
The human H10N7 pistol
The Pig H1N1 pistol
The Pig H1N2 pistol
The Pig H3N1 pistol
The Pig H3N2 pistol
The Dog or Horse H7N7 pistol
The Dog or Horse H3N8 pistol
The Avian H5N1 pistol
The Avian H7N2 pistol
The Avian H1N7 pistol
The Avian H7N3 pistol
The Avian H13N6 pistol
The Avian H5N9 pistol
The Avian H11N6 pistol
The Avian H3N8 pistol
The Avian H9N2 pistol
The Avian H5N2 pistol
The Avian H4N8 pistol
The Avian H10N7 pistol
The Avian H2N2 pistol
The Avian H8N4 pistol
The Avian H14N5 pistol
The Avian H6N5 pistol
and The Avian H12N5 pistol
33 weapons... think their gonna kill their target? You damn right! If you get the FluMist vaccine you are being given 33 different live viruses to
fight and pass on to your family and friends! Just say NO! For the world's sake.
