Ask Your Doctor

This list of questions is a good starting point for discussion with your doctor. However, it is not a comprehensive list.

  • Am I at high risk for catching the flu and/or developing complications from the flu?

  • Should I get a flu shot?

  • Should I consider the nasal mist vaccine instead of a shot?  Why or why not?

  • When should I get a flu shot?

  • If I shouldn't get a flu shot, should I take antiviral medication?

  • Are there potential side effects to antiviral medication?

  • How will I know if I have the flu or another viral infection?

  • If I think I'm getting the flu, should I take antiviral medication?  If so, how fast can I get it?

  • If I get the flu, what are the signs of complications or secondary bacterial infections?

  • Under what circumstances should I call you?
