A review of over 50 studies found that the flu vaccine was not effective in preventing the flu. In addition, in children under the age of two, or in adults over the age of 65.

Effectiveness of Flu Vaccine 

Despite the widespread use of flu vaccines, studies show that they are not always effective in preventing the flu. In addition, children under two and adults over 65 have a lower response to the vaccine. Next, studies have also shown that people who receive the vaccine are as likely to contract the flu virus as those who do not.

Flu Epidemic of 1918

In addition, during the flu epidemic of 1918, chiropractic patients had significantly lower mortality rates compared to the general population. Next, chiropractors believed that subluxations of the spine could weaken the immune system by interfering with nerve function.

Flu Shots and The Chiropractic Approach to Health and Wellness

Chiropractic approaches health and wellness through natural means by correcting subluxations, promoting healthy nutrition, exercise, and stress management. Finally, this holistic approach can boost the immune system and help patients stay healthy and reduce their risk of getting the flu or other illnesses.

Natural Alternatives to Flu Vaccine

While individuals can choose to receive a flu vaccine. In addition, it is not always effective. A natural approach to staying healthy during flu season is to see a chiropractor who can correct subluxations and boost overall health and wellness.

Make An Appointment 

Choosing a natural approach to staying healthy during flu season can be an effective alternative to relying solely on the flu vaccine. Chiropractors can help patients boost their immune system and combat the flu virus through a holistic approach to health and wellness.
