I suppose it is possible since each individual reacts to medications differently and experiences different side effects....but it is very unlikely that is why you threw up. Especially if you have no other symptoms. If you already caught the flu before getting the shot, then it is possible that you threw up because of the flu, but it is a less common symptom of the flu.
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.
You will probably not throw up if your stomach is empty. Sometimes when you have the flu, you can vomit up stomach acids just because you're ill, but if you are otherwise healthy and don't have any flu symptoms, you will not throw up with an empty stomach.
A flu shot clinic is a place where you can go to receive the flu vaccine. During flu season these clinics are set up so that more people can be seen to receive the vaccine.
up your nose or with a patch.
the flu shot was as painful as a bee sting.
Yes you can if your mom beats you up.
Yes, the "seasonal" flu shot (and mist) is available and has been for some time, actually. If you'd like up-to-date info on the flu, including H1N1, visit flu.gov.
Yes, you can still get the flu shot. The flu shot should not be gotten if you are currently ill, but if you are on antibiotics, it is OK to get.
So you don't get the flu.
You have to wait until your better then you get the flu shot
They don't shoot you, and it isn't a 'shot' of a drink, it's a needle in the arm. In the 2009-2010 flu season there was a mist as well as a shot for the vaccination for swine flu. In the 2010-2011 flu season the vaccine for swine flu protection is included in the one vaccination for the seasonal flu.
yeah. The question is not getting the swine flu shot worth your life? The swine flu is like a regular cold if u get it it will clear up eventually. If u get the shot which has lead & other harmful stuff it will harm u later in life. Think about it they came up with the vaccine 2 soon
