Answers:
You won't get the flu, but you may have mild flu-like symptoms for about 24 hours!.

I usually do after I've had a flu shot, and so have other people I've talked to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The influenza vaccine does not contain the influenza virus, so you cannot get the flu from the vaccine!.

Your body builds immunity to the influenza virus because the vaccine contains a purified component of the virus called an antigen -- again, not the virus itself!. Also, the immune response is extremely mild since only a few B & T cells interact w/ the antigen!.

Was there anything else that might have contributed to your cough!? Smoking, allergies, a cold (which is caused by viruses other than influenza, so the flu vaccine won't reduce your risk of catching a cold)!? Since the flu vaccine takes several weeks to "work," it can't physiologically have contributed to your cough!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

No!. The influenza vaccine is made from a "killed" virus and doesn't make someone come down with the flu!. At most, you might have a general low grade fever or local reaction at the injection site!.

This is coincidental!. The flu comes on suddenly and usually with a high fever, body aches and chills!. A tickle in your throat is not a flu symptom!. This time of year, lots of cold viruses go around, and also seasonal allergies!. That's most likely what's going on!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

nope -it's not a live virus!. you could have a viral illness at the time of the injection and the symptoms could increase in severity after causing you to feel as if you have the "flu"!. if you really had influenza, you would most likely need hospitalization!. hold off on your vaccination for another month or 2 as the illness doesn't peak till late Nov!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sometimes the flu shot will give you flu-like symptons!. The flu shot is basically a weakened version of a bunch of flus!. Your body makes anti-bodies and remembers how to fight off those specific strains!. In the process of developing these anti-bodies you may have some mild flu-like symptoms!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

NOOOO You cannot get the flu from a flu shot!. They do NOT inject you with a Live virus!.!.!.!.if you had a small infection or coming down with something then you would get sick!.
Google the FLU shot !.!.you will see I am correct!.
No matter what anyone on here tells you don't listen!.!.ask your Doctor!.!.!.the live virus in not injected anymore!. You can get sick if you are allergic to eggs and milk!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, you can get the flu from a flu shot!. The shot is just a weak form of the virus!. So, it is still alive!. If you have a weak immune system it is entirely possible to get sick from it!. Should not be a bad case though!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

The flu shot uses dead virus so you cannot get that virus!. The nasal mist type uses a live weaked virus!. However, you could be exposed to a viral strain that was not covered by the vaccine and!.!.!.!.FLU! Www@Answer-Health@Com

YOU MIGHT GET A FLUE LIKE SYNDROME!. ABSOLUTELY!. BUT WON'T LAST LONG AS THE FLUE ITSELF!. IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM!. WERE U IN LOT OF STRESS, MAY BE TOO MUCH ALCOHOL, LOTS OF FACTORS BY THE WAY!. DONT'T WORRY, YOU ARE BETTER OFF WITH THE SHOT IN THE LONG RUN!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, as a matter of fact, you get the flu from a flu shot!. It lasts a week or two!. Take it easy, do not exhaust yourself, and complicate it, or make matters worse!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can get symptoms of the flu but it does not last long and should be gone by tomorrow!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no, it is not the live virus in most vaccines, it is impossible!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
