No, but since the viruses aren't all dead (many of them are just very weak) once in a while someone may actually contract the flu from the vaccination.

Never, flu shots are one of the best things going. I have asthma and flu readily turns into a bronchial condition with me... The flu shot has helped me avoid those prolonged bouts of bronchitis and the lingering nasty colds that can follow a bout with the flu. And on the rare occasion that I still get the flu, it is fairly mild and gone within 24-48 hours. I recommend the flu shot, and I don't know of anyone who has ever gotten sick after having one.

I'm one of the lucky ones on this planet... great immune system. I get sick once every 4-5 years. Everyone else getting the flu will be sick in their stomach, throwing up, dizzy... whatever. I usually get a stuffy nose is all. So I don't get the flu shot... EXCEPT once... The military forces us to get it. I told them no... we had afew shots to get prior to heading overseas and they tricked me into getting it saying it was one of the other shots we needed. Then they told me it was the flu shot. i got sick-sick 2 days later. My mind is strong enough that it was not psycho-symatic... I really did get sick from that shot.
they say that the shot is 100% sterile bacteria... I believe that accidents happen in every walk of life, lol!

yep... got my first one in November and have been sick ever since. constantly in the DR office for high fevers, strep throat, ear infections. I'm 22 almost 23..... there is no reason for me to have ear infections and I haven't had one since I was little. once I got that flu shot it was like anything goes, of course I never got that strand of flu it was to prevent but I got everything else. not to mention a constant cough, runny nose and headaches. I will take my chances in the following years, NO FLU SHOT..... I'll risk getting the flu.

I don't think so. I haven't gotten the shot in years. But I remember when I used to get it, I felt really tired and my arm (where I got the shot) would feel very heavy and it would slightly hurt.

No, but in many cases people got sick, the vaccine is actually the flu.
