Two good alternatives to haveing your skin punctured in injected with chicken virus:

FluMist - A Nasal Inhaler - that delivers the vacine and was developed by MedImune (MEDI)

Tamaflu - A protease type inhibitor that prevents the influenza virus from further multiplying in your body - the earlier it is taken the better - developed by Gilead Science (GILD)
