Yes, flu vaccines will work. It is basically dead or weakened flu viruses that are injected into your body. When your immune system finds the viruses, it makes antibodies to kill them, and this develops an immunity to that specific type of flu.

If you are asking how long from the time you get the shot until your immunity is developed, then for healthy adults it is usually 2-3 weeks after the vaccination. Children under 10 need two vaccinations given a month apart because of their immature immune system functioning. Their full immunity will develop 2-4 weeks after the second vaccination.
