Flu Shots Near Me. You may wonder if a flu shot and a flu vaccine are the same thing. Vaccines often given by nasal sprays or oral medications (not just shots) which is a biological product that teaches your body to fight a disease.
Meanwhile, a shot (or injection) is a method of delivery where a needle and syringe put a substance into your body.

TIPS AND WARNINGS:
- Flu shots are injections. Flu vaccines are the substance injected into your body. They are technically different.
- Call urgent care first if nasal sprays or oral medications vaccines (maybe soon) are available. This is for those who fear needles or injections.
- Flu shots or any vaccine shots are PREVENTIVE measure and not cure. These are defense.
- Be honest with your doctor if you are afraid of injections.
- Flu treatment is different from prevention. When you do not have any flu yet – you need prevention by flu shots. If you are already infected with flu – you need treatment which is different thing.
