Re: Do you actually get the flu with the flu shot?

[Guest guest]

I know a few people who have caught the flu from the shot... they

insist that its not related, but with the number of people I

personally know that got it within 2 or 3 days of getting the shot i

dont know.

I have read that it is usually alot mroe mild though...

this is based on no medical research at all... we dont do the flu

shot here, too many vaccine reactions in our family, were afraid to

risk it. (they think its a hereditary sensitivity or something, as

myself, my 2 nefews, and possibly my son had SEVERE reactions to

vaccines in the past).

I've always been told you can't get the flu from the flu shot. It could

be that Joey was exposed to someone with a cold and the symptoms are

just now showing up. Remember it takes some time for illnesses to show

up. But you can't get the flu from the flu shot. Now the flu mist is

another story because you get the live virus with that one. I believe

he just woke up with stuff that he picked up before the shot.
