Buffalo, NY (WBEN) If you're wondering when is the best time to get the flu vaccine, one area doctor says it's right now.
Turkovich says there are flu mist and injection available. "The nasal flu mist forms are targeted for older people and some are targeted for younger ages," notes Turkovich. But is one better than the other? "There were some studies the injeciton was better, but we know getting the vaccine, either by injection or vaccine is better than no vaccine at all," says Turkovich.
He debunks the biggest myth of getting the flu vaccine. "You can't get the flu. But you can get an inflammatory response, which will make you feel a little lousy, have a low grade fever. It has nothing to do with the flu and it only lasts a day or so," explains Turkovich.
