When parents inoculate their children from communicable diseases prior to sending them off to school they not only provide their own children a benefit but also bestow a benefit on every other student at the school.
 
  There are now fewer students who can pass on these types of diseases. However, parents are not likely to take into account the fact that their actions create this external benefit. Therefore, economists argue that the market on its own may not provide for the optimal level of inoculations. What methods might work to get parents to take into account the external benefit when deciding whether to inoculate their children?

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.
