Can I get the flu from the flu shot or flu mist?

No, a flu shot cannot cause flu illness. The influenza viruses contained in a flu shot are inactivated (killed), which means they cannot cause infection. Flu vaccine manufacturers kill the viruses used in the vaccine during the process of making vaccine, and batches of flu vaccine are tested to make sure they are safe. In randomized, blinded studies, where some people get flu shots and others get salt-water shots, the only differences in symptoms was increased soreness in the arm and redness at the injection site among people who got the flu shot. There were no differences in terms of body aches, fever, cough, runny nose or sore throat.	

2.
Do vaccines cause autism?

Medical and legal authorities agree that no evidence exists that vaccines cause autism.In 2004, the Institute of Medicine—a prestigious group of impartial experts who advise Congress on science issues—stated strongly that the evidence from five large epidemiological studies, three of which involved more than 100,000 children each, did not support a connection between autism and thimerosal-containing vaccines.
SAVE LIVES Act allows VA to soon provide COVID-19 vaccinations to all Veterans, their spouses and caregivers - VA News
Non-enrolled Veterans as defined in the new legislation, including those without service-connected disabilities and who have incomes above VA’s threshold.

	Overseas Veterans who rely on the Foreign Medical Program.

	Veteran caregivers who are enrolled in either the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers or the Program of General Caregiver Support Services.

	Veteran caregivers enrolled in certain Geriatrics and Extended Care Programs, such as Veteran Directed Care, Bowel and Bladder, Home Based Primary Care and VA’s Medical Foster Home Program.

Civilian Health and Medical Programs of the Department of Veterans Affairs recipients.

	Veteran spouses.

In March and April 2021, VA will conduct pilots of COVID-19 vaccination for individuals specified in HR1276 at select VA medical centers. These pilots will work through critical steps in the process including communications, operations including space and staffing, systems for registration, enrollment, and scheduling, documentation, and data transmission. 
VA currently receives approximately 200,000 first, or single doses, of COVID-19 vaccine each week. VA estimates that it will need a minimum of 300,000 first or single doses of COVID-19 vaccine weekly to offer COVID-19 vaccination to an additional three million Veterans who are enrolled but not currently using VA health care. VA estimates that it will need approximately 600,000 first, or single doses, of COVID-19 vaccine each week to further expand vaccination to all individuals outlined in HR1276. First or single dose supply is the best indicator of VA’s capacity to offer expanded COVID-19 vaccination. 
Interested Veterans, their caregivers and Veteran spouses who qualify under the legislation can click here to get more information about COVID-19 vaccines at VA. Updates will be provided regarding the availability of vaccine supply and other resources.

Similarly, evidence from 14 large epidemiological studies showed no association between measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism. Since that time, even more studies have reinforced the conclusion that there is no evidence for a connection between vaccines and autism. In 2009, after extensive proceedings that generated 5,000 pages of transcript and included 939 medical articles, the federal court that administers the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program found the scientific evidence is “overwhelmingly contrary” to the theory that autism is linked to MMR vaccine, thimerosal, or a combination of the two. The World Health Organization, the European Medicines Agency, Health Canada, and other national and international health groups have all dismissed the possibility of a link between vaccines and autism.

Polio (Poliomyelitis, Infantile Paralysis)
It can also spread through the sneeze or cough droplets from an infected person.
This can happen when someone is in close contact with an infected person, such as by caring for them or sharing food or utensils with them.
Polio is very contagious, and not everyone who is infected with polio will show symptoms. Some have mild or flu-like symptoms that can be easily mistaken for another type of virus.
Still, all infected people can spread the virus and infect others, even if they have no symptoms.
The best way New Yorkers can ensure they are protected from this highly contagious virus that can cause paralysis and even death is by staying up to date with polio immunizations.

What are the symptoms of polio?
There are a range of symptoms people infected with polio may experience, from no symptoms, to mild and flu-like symptoms, to serious symptoms, including paralysis, permanent disability, and even death. New Yorkers should not take comfort in the fact that some people will not experience symptoms from polio; this only makes the danger of this life-threatening virus greater, because it can spread silently and infect large numbers of people until symptomatic and possibly severe infections occur with serious consequences. Polio survivors can also experience post-polio syndrome, a condition that can impact individuals decades after they recover from their initial poliovirus infection.

Mild & Flu-like Symptoms
According to CDC, 70% of people infected with polio experience no symptoms. About 25% experience mild or flu-like symptoms that may be mistaken for many other illnesses, such as:

Fatigue
Fever
Headache
Stiffness
Muscle or stomach pain
Nausea/Vomiting
Sore throat

Serious Symptoms, & Paralysis
A smaller proportion of people will develop more serious symptoms that affect the brain and spinal cord, including:

Paresthesia (feeling of pins and needles in the legs)
Meningitis (infection of the covering of the spinal cord and/or brain)
Paralysis (can't move parts of the body) or weakness in the arms, legs, or both

Post-polio Syndrome, Disability & Death

Sobre Las Vacunas Contra El COVID-19 | Veterans Affairs
Todas las vacunas actuales han cumplido con los altos estándares de seguridad de la FDA. Antes de que la FDA apruebe o autorice el uso de una vacuna, revisa todos los datos de seguridad y los resultados de los ensayos clínicos. También revisa el proceso que utiliza una empresa para fabricar la vacuna. Se aseguran de que el proceso sigue las normas de calidad y seguridad.Cientos de millones de personas en los Estados Unidos ya han recibido una vacuna contra el COVID-19. Los problemas graves son poco frecuentes. Obtenga más información sobre estos problemas poco frecuentes en el sitio web de los CDCLas vacunas contra el COVID-19 siguen siendo sometidas al más intenso control de seguridad de la historia de los Estados Unidos. La FDA y los CDC responden de inmediato si los datos muestran que una vacuna puede causar problemas de salud, sin importar cuán raros sean.Obtenga más información sobre el monitoreo de la seguridad de las vacunas en los EE.

Sore throat

Serious Symptoms, & Paralysis
A smaller proportion of people will develop more serious symptoms that affect the brain and spinal cord, including:

Paresthesia (feeling of pins and needles in the legs)
Meningitis (infection of the covering of the spinal cord and/or brain)
Paralysis (can't move parts of the body) or weakness in the arms, legs, or both

Post-polio Syndrome, Disability & Death
New Yorkers should know that paralysis is the most severe symptom associated with polio, because it can lead to permanent disability and death. Even children who seem to fully recover can develop new muscle pain, weakness, or paralysis as adults 15 to 40 years later. This is called post-polio syndrome.

How can I protect myself and my family from polio?

Make sure you and your family are fully immunized- learn more about polio immunization here.
Practice good hand and respiratory hygiene:
 
Wash hands often with soap and water. Note that alcohol-based sanitizers do not work on some types of germs, like polio.
Cough or sneeze into a tissue or your elbow, not your bare hand.

New York State's Polio Response

WASTEWATER SURVEILLANCE TO IDENTIFY THE VIRUS IN COMMUNITIES: NYSDOH launched wastewater surveillance — a tool to check for signs of the virus in sewage water in communities, as people infected with polio shed virus in their stool. Throughout 2022, testing and sequence analysis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) detected poliovirus repeatedly in samples collected from New York City, Orange County, Rockland County, and Sullivan County and in one sample from Nassau County. All samples reported are samples of concern, meaning they are types of poliovirus that can cause paralysis in humans. New York State is continuing weekly monitoring of wastewater in counties of concern; the latest wastewater surveillance results are here.
INCREASING IMMUNIZATIONS: Working with local and national health authorities, healthcare providers and clinics, and community-based organizations, particularly in the affected areas, NYSDOH is driving immunizations among unvaccinated and under-vaccinated children, for whom coverage is lower, and adults.
