Yes, it is a definitive symptom in Avian Flu and a few other types of flu.
Upon doing some research on swine flu, apparently it does also cause some comjunctivitis in the pigs. My son also has h1n1 swine flu and has some mild conjunctivitis.
Conjunctivitis
viruses and bacteria
No but the organisms that cause it do.
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease that can cause pneumonia or conjunctivitis in a baby born to a mother with the infection.
Short answer is likely yes; unless an infected person touched an infected area and then touched your eye.
runny nose, cough, congestion, hoarseness, conjunctivitis, and fever.sore throat.
Conjunctivitis, or pink eye, is caused by bacteria or viruses. The duration of conjunctivitis depends on the underlying cause. Bacterial conjunctivitis can last up to two weeks if left untreated, while viral conjunctivitis may resolve on its own within one to two weeks. Proper hygiene measures and seeking medical treatment can help reduce the duration and spread of conjunctivitis.
Conjunctivitis may be caused by environmental hazards, such as wind, smoke, dust, and allergic reactions caused by pollen, dust, or grass.
Short answer: No — you cannot get the flu from the flu shot. Not possible. Zero percent. ✅ Why you can’t get the flu from the flu shot The flu shot contains inactivated (killed) virus, which means: It cannot infect you It cannot multiply in your body It cannot cause the influenza illness So medically, the flu shot cannot give you the flu. ✅ Then why do some people feel sick afterward? A few normal, harmless reactions can happen as your immune system responds: Mild fever Your immune system becomes active → leads to a low-grade fever in some people. Fatigue or body aches This is a side effect, not the flu itself. Sore arm Very common due to the immune response at the injection site. You were already exposed before the shot If someone gets sick right after the vaccine, it’s often because: They were exposed to the virus a few days before the shot They caught a different virus (cold, RSV, COVID) It takes 2 weeks for the flu shot to give full protection ❗ Important note The nasal spray flu vaccine (FluMist) does contain a live-attenuated virus, but it’s weakened so much that it also cannot cause actual influenza. It may cause: Runny nose Cough Mild symptoms But not true flu illness. ✅ Bottom Line No — the flu shot does not and cannot give you the flu. You may feel mild symptoms as your immune system builds protection, but that’s a normal response — not an infection.
Flu viruses cause disease, they cause influenza (flu). They are the infectious agents of the flu. The viruses are submicroscopic organisms that infect your body and that give you the influenza, the disease.
NO !
