Answer 1

Well, what you should do is definetely talk to your doctor. You may not actually have to get a check-up, but it would be a great idea to talk to a phisician or nurse, or even the actual doctor over the telphone. Yes, after getting the flu shot, in some rare cases people do experience flu like symptoms, but this is usually nothing to worry about. A flu shot actually administers live, but weakened, bacteria that cause the flu, so that your body can become immune to them, and resist the sickness. This is why, sometimes, when your immune system is down because of some reason, such as stress, other sicknesses, or lack of sleep or nutrition, people can experience the actual symptoms of the sickness to which they got a shot for. Just to be sure, though, talk ot your doctor. Hope this helped! The flu shot is a mild case of the flu along with the antibodies that your body needs to fight it. So in a sense, It is the flu. It will and can cause all the signs and symptoms that your body would normally get, malaise,that general "feel like crap' feeling, elevated temperature, the chills, just all around terrible feeling that the flu causes. All of this is normal. Your body was also given the antibodies in the shot as well so this starts to fight the new flu immediately and gives your body the time to make more. This makes you immune to or less likely to catch it, if exposed to it again later in the flu season.
