It's a dead virus, so if you get sick, it wouldn't be from the vaccine.

Posted by kelly Oct 6 '15, 08:04

I know there are plenty of people who swear the flu shot made them sick, but assuming the shot contained the dead virus - it wouldn't be bc of the shot.

(I've been getting the shot every year for as long as I can remember, being immunocompromised and all, and it's never made me sick, sooo...)

- If you are offered a choice between a shot and a nasal spray - the spray contains the live vaccine. - kelly Oct 6, 08:12
- I can only go by my own anecdotal evidence, but I've gotten a shot 3x out of the last 5 or 6 years and 3x I've gotten sick immediately after - decline Oct 6, 08:11 6
  - have you gotten sick, or have you gotten the *flu*? because, in either case you probably were exposed before you got the shot. - Andie Oct 6, 08:13 5
    - My wife does that and it drives *INSANE* -- nm - Shaun Oct 6, 08:14
    - I don't know that I've ever had the flu. how would I know? can I fake it and take two days off in november? -- nm - fabulous squad Oct 6, 08:14 3
      - If you have the flu, you're probably out more than 2 days. - Dark Callisto Oct 6, 08:35
      - this. I can't tell you if it was the flu. I got sick and had to stay home. -- nm - decline Oct 6, 08:20
      - fever is a big indicator. and absolute exhaustion (that lasts.). I think i've had the actual flu one time as an adult. -- (link*) - Andie Oct 6, 08:15
- There can be side effects such a soreness, headaches, and slight fever - JD Oct 6, 08:10 4
  - In other words, the side effects can be getting sick. -- nm - Spawn Oct 6, 08:12 3
    - you aren't actually sick though. the true flu is terrible. you will be weak for a couple weeks after. it's worth avoiding. -- nm - Andie Oct 6, 08:14 2
      - True, but I am tired of people claiming that you will not be "sick" if you get a shot. You very well could be. - Spawn Oct 6, 08:21 1
        
        you won't get the flu from the shot. period. -- nm - Andie Oct 6, 08:24
- It's because those people are morons who don't know how vaccines work. -- nm - Shaun Oct 6, 08:10
