Flu Shot in India

2016-05-03 17:10:12
Every year I catch common cold or viral fever or something of that sorts twice or thrice. I know that in western countries there's a flu shot available. Is there anything like that in India? If yes what is it called and where is it available? If not, what are the alternatives?
