Well, yes, you do inject it into yourself. But the virus you are injecting yourself with is inactive/dead (idk, Flyotes could probably explain it better) the purpose behind it is to introduce your body to a small sample of it so it your immune system gets use to it and can start producing whatever it needs to produce to fight it before you actually catch it. That said, I never get it and have never had it. It's funny at work we share desks. Everyone that comes in and basically dumps a buckets of alcohol on their desks are the same people that call in sick every couple of months and the people that don't are the people that are there every day.
Right, the flu shot gives you a nonfunctioning version of the flu but one that has the appearance of being the actual thing. It's like the Vincent Lecavalier of viruses.
