Can getting the flu shot cause the flu?

Question

So my husband went to get the flu today. But he was scared telling me that he’s never been sick before and that now he’s worried he’ll catch the flu with the shot he received today. He said he barely gets colds and any other kind of sickness. He thinks maybe if he did get the flu he was a child but that’s about it. He scared me and now i’am thinking what happens if it does cause him the flu or gets him sick with a bad cold.

Answer

You cannot get the flu from the flu shot...

Answer

No. But it does take 2 weeks for it to become fully effective. So you’re still susceptible to getting the flu up to 2 weeks after getting the shot.

Answer

The shot, no. You can get the flu from the nasal spray type though

Answer

Here's the full story. They give you a dead virus so you can't get the flu from the shot. You can get a different flu/illness, or you can experience an immune response. Many of the symptoms we get when we are sick aren't from the actual illness, but from our immune system trying to protect us from the illness. You're given the shot to sort of train your immune system to fight the illness if you catch it in the future. Your immune system fights the dead virus just like it would fight the live virus, which can cause many of the symptoms one would experience when actually catching the flu. Make sense?

Answer

He might feel kind of tired for a day or two but no, it won't give him the flu

Answer

The shot does not cause the flu....

Answer

You will not get sick just from getting the shot. However, the flu shot only covers the strain that they predict will be a problem that year. You can still catch a different strain of the flu and get sick
