Flu vaccine giving you the flu?

Here's a quick fact ➡️ The flu shot can't give you the flu!

Yes, you can have a fever, feel a little under the weather, and have a runny nose after which are common short-lived side-effects related to an immune response, but you CAN NOT get the flu from the flu vaccine.

The flu shot contains inactivated flu vaccine so it cannot give you the flu.

When people get the flu immediately after the flu vaccine, they were likely exposed to someone who happened to have it. That's why it's best to get the flu vaccine now or before Halloween AKA before flu season begins.

But you can get flu like symptoms, like fever, headache, chills.

The last time I got a flu shot I got sick. That was more than 20 years ago. Like I said, that was the last time.

Then tell me why is it the only time that I have ever had the flu is when I was forced to get the flu shot. Otherwise I wasn't allowed to work in my field that is why I no longer work in that field

I got the flu shot last Wednesday and I’m going on day 3 of feeling the worse I’ve ever felt. Tested negative for Covid, Flu A and B. The nurse jokingly said when she gave it to me to not get mad at her if I get sick. I’ve had Covid twice and the flu in the past and have never felt this awful.

the one time I got the glue shot, 16 year old me had a 102-103 temp, and had to go to the hospital by ambulance. neighbor who is in her 80s, has got the shot 10 or 10+ time but got the flu every single time.

My uncle had the flu vaccine every year and every year he got the flu

[dmitri]

My only question is if you take these vaccines for so long would your body become more reliant on the chemicals in the vaccines than on its own immune system?

[mitch]

The shot can weaken the immune system for a time. Pretty simple lady.

37 yo. Never got the flu shot. Never got the flu. Why fix what ain’t broken

[timflint]

My grandparents got it and ended up in the hospital for a week. It also spread to my mom and I immediately and we were extremely sick for a week and had some symptoms last for 6 months

[Missdoubletrouble]

A few weeks after getting a flu shot I got flu. So, "yes way".
Never had another shot. Didn't get flu again either.

[greedharrykarishma]

Just got the tdap vaccine like two weeks ago now getting sore throat and flu like symptoms... Wasn't the vaccine supposedly prevent from getting flu

[randav_official]

Uhm. My dad got the flu bc of the flu vaccine.

[AdrianGabriel-sg]

A new job is asking me to get the flu shot but I only got the shot once in my teens and got very sick for a week from it, I don’t want to put myself through this it feels unnecessary as I never get sick from the flu and flu season is almost over

[hilda]

Last time I received a flu shot I developed flu symptoms with in two days. If it wasn't the flu, it was a serious inflammatory response . . . that can not be denied. How about making a video on how to attenuate the after effects of receiving a shot if the shot is needed for employment (for example). THAT would be helpful.

Mean while at the start of 2018: little 16 year old me was diagnosed with the flu from an abnormal strain of flu vaccine that mutated making me sick. There definitely is a way. 💀💀💀

[TogaLikesPomegranates]

The shot has small weaker doses of the flu inside of it.

[shanewilson]

Of course a medical practitioner would say this

[drawingguy]

I swear to fucking god it happens to me every time

[louisequadrelli]

Each time O had flu vaccine I was ill for 3 =4 days, I am one of the people who vaccines are hard o. I stopped having the vaccine years ago...I've had flu once in this time lasted around 6 days...maybe there are many more folk like me who it does not suit
