Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1. Natural methods are free and involve no pills or devices. However, the risk for an unplanned pregnancy is often higher, and there is no protection from STIs.
2. Hormonal methods deliver hormones that stop ovulation. These methods have lower failure rates than natural methods but are often costly and may have side effects.
3. Barrier methods prevent sperm from reaching an egg. Some of these offer protection from STIs as well but they require using a device.
4. Surgical methods deliver permanent protection from unplanned pregnancy but do not protect from STIs.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
