Answer to Question 1

Samuel Messick (1996, 1998), a famous psychometrician, coined the term consequential validity to bring attention to the fact that there are personal and social consequences of test scores. He was particularly concerned about the potential for unfortunate consequences when a test systematically produces biased decisions and social injustices. From a measurement perspective, the source of the trouble is that a test may include irrelevant variance in scores (e.g., socioeconomic status that leads to variation on an intelligence test) or underrepresents the construct.

Answer to Question 2

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.
