I was going to go and get my flu shot today but I think I already have the flu. I've been sick since yesterday but it's much worse today. Would it help to still get the flu shot when I get better or is it too late since I already caught it? Can I get one today anyway or do I need to wait until this clears up?

yes you should get it. The flu shot is made of 3 types of virus. This year they took the 3 worst and they made one shot with it. There are 1000's of differents flus. Chances are that you didnt get the worst ones.
You should wait until you get better though because your body needs to be concentrating on the flu you have now.

Flu shots should be for people who have diabetes, or are elderly. If you are young, I wouldn't bother.
Besides Flu shots can make you sick anyways, they just protect you from getting a horrible flu. That's why they are meant for elderly because their immune systems are low.

A vaccinated person is MORE likely to get a disease than a non-vaccinated person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.
There are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.
Just sit back and think for a while.
Is there any sense in injecting a disease directly into the bloodstream.
We have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.

It may not be the flu - the season hasn't hit yet. I'd still get the shot.
