It can and does cause flu-like symptoms!. It happened to me twice before I quit taking the vaccine!.

Actually, medical professionals are suggesting that this years vaccine would likely trigger even stronger reactions in some recipients as it's comprised of 4 strains of flu virus!. Seems they didn't know (or couldn't guess) exactly what strains would likely hit this season, so they threw several in together, which increased the side-effects!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

In Canada, we don't use any live flu vaccines!. All of the vaccines approved for use are split-vaccines that don't use live virus)!.

Influenza immunization cannot cause influenza because the vaccine does not contain live virus!. Soreness at the injection site lasting up to 2 days occurs in 10%-72% of patients but rarely interferes with normal activities!. Fever, malaise and myalgia may occur within 6 to 12 hours after vaccination and last 1 to 2 days, especially in those receiving vaccine for the first time!.
Prophylactic acetaminophen may decrease the frequency of some
side effects in adults!. Healthy adults receiving the split-virus vaccine have shown no increase in the fre quency of fever or other systemic symptoms compared with those receiving placebo!.
Split-virus influenza vaccines are safe and well tolerated in healthy children!.
Mild local reactions, primarily soreness at the vaccination site, occur
