True, you are not alone!! I've never had the flu worse than just after the shots!! If you're not 55 or older, and your immune system is OK, forget them!!!!

No.
The flu shot does cause activation of the immune system, which is exactly what is intended. This may be experienced as muscle aches and a mild fever. The mild side effects of the flu shot are nothing like having influenza, which causes everything from severe fatigue and body aches to death. Thousands of people, from children to the elderly, die every year from influenza. Ask your doctor for a flu shot every autumn.

I didn't get sick, but my mom usually gets the mild flu everytime she gets the shot! If ou get really sick you might be allergic to something in it, that is why they ask if you are allergic to eggs!
