my son's situation, he was flu tested so we KNOW it was the flu


Again....it takes 2 WEEKS for the flushot to be able to protect you. So if your son got sick a few days after getting the shot....it wasn't from the shot.




Meaning that if you get a flushot today....if you get the flu in the next 2 weeks...it's not because you got the flushot...it's because you were exposed to the flu before the shot could protect you. It's why you should get the flushot at the beginning of flu season(which starts Oct 1)...so you are protected.

I know nurse ... I'm talking well after receiving the shot. He typically took it when athletes at school did (pretty much as soon as they were available) to help prevent flu during basketball/early baseball/early track seasons. The school always strongly encouraged it ...
