Are experiencing flu symptoms after a flu shot normal?

Q: I just got a flu shot yesterday, and I woke up today with a little bit of a sore throat. I know I should probably just call my doctor but I just thought I’d ask on here first.So is it at all normal to experience one of the flu symptoms after receiving a flu shot?Thanks.Thanks for both your answers! I hope it’s related, I just don’t wanna get the flu when I just got a shot to prevent it 🙁

A: You might know already but you can’t actually get the flu from a flu shot. So far as I know sore throat isn’t even a side effect of it, so that’s probably not related. The usual side effects are soreness where the shot was administered or fever and/or achiness.

Can you get flu symptoms from the flu shot?

Q: Yesterday I recieved the flu shot today I am exhausted and have a pretty bad cough. Could it be because of the flu shot? Also please don’t tell me that I have swine flu becuase I have already had it and from what I’ve heard you can’t catch it again.

A: The flu shot takes up to 2 weeks to produce immunity from the influenza strains in the vaccine. You can already have the flu or you can catch it before that two weeks is up. The shot lasts about 6 months, so you can also catch the flu after the immunity wears off.That said, the shot kicks your immune system up a notch. For many people, the increased immune response will produce mild upper respiratory symptoms and an achy feeling. It is not the flu and will disappear in a day or so.The flu, if you have it, will last a week or more.

people who got the flu already this year..what are the symptoms? flu shot? does it make u sick? does it work?

Q: i may have already had the flu but im not sure. i had a high fever of 104, sore glands and sore throat, headache, body aches, but no stomach ache. usually the flu is accompanied by throwing up. im hoping that the strain that i had will be the main strain for this season, because then im done with it, but i dont know. if you have already had the flu this season, what are the symptoms? and have any of you recieved the flu shot? did it give you the flu?

A: Everyone should get a flu shot unless they are allergic to something in the shot, not just people in high risk groups. They are not 100% effective, but will reduce the severity and duration of symptoms if you do get the flu. I have been getting the flu shot every year since I was little, and have not had the flu in 25 years. The only problems I have ever had after getting the flu shot are a sore arm for a few days and symptoms of a cold for about 5 days after I get the shot. (It still amazes me that anyone would consider NOT getting the flu shot unless they are allergic to something in the shot or there are other unusual medical circumstances.)
