Tamiflu (oseltamivir) does not create immunity against the influenza virus. Instead, it is an antiviral medication that helps reduce the severity and duration of flu symptoms if taken shortly after infection. While it can help the immune system combat the virus more effectively, it does not lead to the production of antibodies or long-term immunity like a vaccine does. For immunity, vaccination is the recommended approach.

Should you take Tamiflu if you had a flu shot?

You could, but it may not be needed if the shot protects you from getting the flu (as it should once it produces immunity in around 2 weeks after the vaccination in adults). If Tamiflu is prescribed by your doctor, then it should be no problem, just mention the recent vaccination. If you got, or are getting, a flu nasal mist vaccination instead of a shot, then you should not have antiviral medications like Tamiflu for two weeks before or two weeks after the vaccination. It will not hurt you if you do, but you may be rendering the vaccination ineffective or less effective if you do, since the mists are made with "live" viruses and they could be disabled by the antiviral medicine before they can cause your proper immune response to the vaccines when given during the time your body is working to build immunity from exposure to the vaccine.
