You cannot get the flu from the flu shot.

I get it about the written word. I guess I'm not the only one who imaginarily suffers after the shot when I felt fine before getting it. Nucky MD. I was lumped up a little over 24 hours. Hope your husband feels better. SANTA BARBARA Location of the Villages Health told me a few hours ago that the next supply of Flu Shots is expected sometime in the next two weeks. This is from my Doctors Nurse. Watch out for the line at Publix! Last edited by Nucky; 10-09-2019 at 04:18 PM. |

I got a flu shot from the VA Medical Facility at Mulberry on Sept 17th, my wife got hers at Walgreens at Pinellas Plaza the next week.
In 2015 I got an pneumonia shot that was good for ten years. In 2016 I got pneumonia that lasted about two months. It had gone away and then returned, I had to eventually go to a pulmonary doctor. |

There was your mistake. Instead of getting a pneumonia shot you should have got an ANTI-pneumonia shot. Blame your doctor for that.

There are some potential side effects that some people experience when they get a flu shot. Usually it's just swelling and redness in the injection site on your arm. But very mild flu-like symptoms are known, but rare side effects. So if you felt a little achy and had a low-grade fever for a couple of days, that could certainly be a side-effect of the vaccine.
However - if you had the actual flu shortly after being vaccinated, it was not the shot giving you the flu. It was you, having the flu before you got the shot,and the symptoms showing up after the shot. |

There are 100's of different bacteria, viruses, and other organisms and chemicals that can and do cause pneumonia. In fact pneumococcus causes a fraction of clinical pneumonias but can be a serious cause. So the vaccine did not fail you, rather you likely were infected with one of the 100's of other agents causing pneumonia. Think of it this way. Say we have a vaccine to prevent dog bites from pit bulls. It is well known that pit bulls are a serious cause of human bite injuries. And even if that vaccine works well it will not protect you from bites from poodles, shepherds …..

It actually did fail me, I got pneumonia. Your comment is what my post was pointing out to others, that just because you've received a shot doesn't mean you're totally protected.

Just like if I get a flu shot against everything except avian flu - and end up getting avian flu. It's because the shot didn't include that particular strain of flu. |

I have reactions even to the preservative free, and even though I am exposed to over a hundred people a week, I have never had any strain of flu.
