Usually they have a cost. But sumtimes clinics offer them for free.
Answer:It depends where you live. Countries with national health care plans provide free vaccinations against a wide range of illnesses including annual and special flu shots.
You can get it this flu season (2010-2011) any place you can get the seasonal "regular" flu shot (if you are in the US), since it is included with the standard flu vaccine this year, no separate vaccination is required like in 2009. There is no shortage of the vaccine.
Places in the US that provide vaccinations for the flu are most national chain pharmacies (such as CVS, Walgreen's, Walmart, Kroger, etc.) and some smaller retail pharmacies in your local area (call first to see if they are giving them).
In addition many health care providers and walk in care centers are providing them. If you have a regular physician you can call to see if they are providing them to their patients and if not, they can probably help you find a location near you.
If you are in the UK, contact your primary care physician.
If you are in the US, you can get flu vaccinations at most large national pharmacy chains and many local pharmacies, at your doctor's office, and sometimes they are available at community health fairs or through your employer.
If you want a sample of the virus for laboratory study, you can contact the CDC in the US to see what qualifications are required to receive these types of cultures.
If you just want to get sick, it would be a good idea to see a psychiatrist instead.
If you want to know where it is most likely to be so you can avoid getting it, then that is typically any public location that is busy and/or crowded, such as a mall, train station, airport, school, church or other gathering like sports events.

can you have the flu jab with low lymphocytes
The "flu shot" is what an injected immunization using influenza vaccine is called in the US. In the UK, this is better known as a "flu jab". Flu jab may be the term you may have heard spoken and are thinking of. There is no "flu gab" found. The pronunciation of the "j" in flu "jab" is the same as in the word "jump". "Gab" is usually pronounced with the "g" like the "g" in "game".
The flu vaccination should protect you from getting the flu. The flu vaccine is usually 70% effective.
No way
any one over 65
Yes you can. They are totally different viruses.
For protection against catching and being sick with the flu. See the related question below about how vaccinations work.
It hurted for about 3 days for me. But it edventually went away
Typically, no. If you received the IM injection (flu shot/jab) in the muscle of the hip, you might have localized tenderness in the muscle tissue, but not in the bones.
No, only one time should provide immunity for life. However, in the US for the 2010-2011 flu season, the vaccine for swine flu H1N1/09 is included in the "regular" flu vaccinations. If you had it last year, it won't hurt to have it again.
depends if you got the full regimen, or only one dose. The chances of dying from worry about swine flu is much greater than actually dying from it.
A flu vaccination is only good for the season because the flu virus changes over time. Without getting into the technical details of how it works, a virus can adapt and change over time by gaining new genetic traits, making it a completely different 'virus' that causes the same disease, but is genetically different than the one before it. Because of this, a vaccination of the old flu virus will not last for life. An old flu vaccination will protect against the original, but the new strand is basically 'unknown' to your body and will cause infection.
