CLEVELAND — Dr. Frank Esper joined the Lunch Break and broke down what’s fact and what’s fiction, when it comes to common idea surrounding flu shots.

The topics on the menu included whether you can get the flu from the flu shot, if an egg allergy rules you out of be able to get one, if some flu vaccines contained mercury and when you have to get the flu shot in order for it to be effective.
