Can I get the flu from receiving the flu shot?
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.

How do you get the flu when you already got a flu shot?
There are many different types of flu and the seasonal flu shot only prevents three of the most likely to be circulating flu viruses. So if you happened to get exposed to a type of flu that wasn't in the vaccination, then you could get sick from it.Another reason might be that you caught the flu before you got the flu shot and so there was not time for the shot to work before you got sick.Another reason might be that you got the shot and then were exposed to the flu before your immune system could give you immunity from the vaccination. It takes around two weeks after getting the vaccination for an adult to have full immunity from it. For children under 10, a series of two vaccinations are needed given approximately a month apart, then it takes another few weeks before the body has developed the full immunity, so exposure during any of those time frames before full immunity can cause illness in those children.
