I had a flu shot but I got the flu a month later?

Question

Before the start of flu season, I had a flue shot. Now, a month later, I have come down with the flu. What happened?

Answer 1

The vaccination shot is actually a genetically weakened strain of the actual virus. It is injected as weak in order to allow your immune system to build up a resistance against it in case you actually get exposed to the virus. On occasion, the weakened virus may actually overwhelm your immune system, causing you to contract the flu. You also may have caught a different strand of the same general virus, which your vaccination had not protected you from.

Answer 2

for sure i won't teach it replaced into the flu-shot, in spite of if, the 4 years I actually are turning out to be the shot I actually are turning out to be the flu and each year I even have not gotten the shot I even have not gotten the flu. Even the individuals who make the vaccine admit this is merely approximately 40% smart!

Answer 3

Did you know there are about 20 different kinds of flu? I had mine
too, but am more or less house bound. But those out in the public those out in public touching door knobs, not washing their hands enough, people in general breathing on you, not mention it's also air borne are the ones most at risk.
I hope I gave you some insight? Flu season late this year.
Summer

Answer 4

When they make up the flu shot mixture it is only the CDC's best guess what strains will be the most active that year. Sometimes a strain is active they didnt include. Vaccines are a dice roll and somnetimes the doctors at CDC get it wrong.

Answer 5

Most people who get the flu shot, still get the flu, just to a lesser dagree..it's mostly to keep fatalities down from the side effects...It's also not 100%, and it doesn't work on every one.
I'm sorry you got sick...I hope your feeling better now.

Answer 6

just because you got the shot doesnt make you immune. it happens sometimes
