Answer to Question 1

The difference between nominal, compensatory, and pencitory damages are the following:

a) Courts award nominal damages in order to recognize that a breach of contract has occurred but no harm was caused by the breach of contract. The nominal damages would be a small sum that demonstrates that a party has breached the contract.
b) Compensatory damages are used to provide compensation to the party that was materially harmed by the other party breaching the contract. They are not used as punishment but to compensate the harmed party for any losses they have incurred or gains prevented resulting from a breach of contract.
c) Pencitory damages attempt to return the person that was materially harmed by the breach of contract back to the position they were in before the contract started and if this is not possible they provide monetary compensation to the plaintiff.

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.
