Anyone take he flu shot and got some symptoms?

Question

I've had a couple friends who have taken their flu shot already and then got some symptoms of the flu afterwards. Has that happened to you? I've never gotten the flu shot, but definitely getting it this year. I have no more sick time for the rest of the year so my doctor advised that I take the shot on a Friday so if I do get sick I have the weekend off to recover.

Answer

I've been getting a flu vaccine for the last several years and never felt sick after.

Many people who complain of getting sick after probably picked something up from a sick person in the waiting room at their doctor's office!

Answer

Having a few symptoms means your immune system works well. People who  "get the flu" after the flu shot are either confused about what the flu actually is, or already had the virus and it was too late when they got the vaccine.

Answer

I've never gotten sick from the flu shot and I've probably had it about 10 times. If you get sick you were already going to and it had nothing to do with the vaccine.

Answer

I had a sore shoulder for a couple days but that was it. Been almost two weeks since I got it now.

Answer

They probably got sick because the vaccine lowers immunity and they probably caught something.

Answer

I've been getting the flu shot for years and have never gotten sick from it or had any flu like symptoms. I was given the shot last week at my 10 week check up and had no issues either.
