Is it true that if one person in your house gets a flu shot, a second who didn't will end up getting the flu?

Answer 1

No. The person who gets the flu shot has the same chances of getting the flu. There are thousands of flu viruses at any given time and they are always mutating. The flu vaccine is a a waste of time because by the time it is prepared and distributed, the viruses have changed and the vaccine is no longer viable.

Many people who have the vaccine get the flu much worse than if they didn't get the vaccine because the vaccine weakens the immune system.

Every time my mother got the vaccine, she became very ill with the flu.

It is just the pharmaceutical companies selling us their product and trying to scare us into thinking we will die if we don't take their medications.

Answer 2

No, that is not true. My husband gets the flu shot every year & sometimes I get the Flu & sometimes I don't. I don't get the Flu shot as if I do, I will always get the flu for sure! I have done some exsperimenting on mysef just to see if I get the shot if I get the Flu & the answer for me is "YES". If I don't get the shot then I can sometimes go for up to 2 years with out getting the Flu. It just really depends on how healthy you are to beging with & what type of work enviroment you work in. If you eat a proper diet & just plain take care of your self. I just happen to be 1 of the few people that get the Flu every time I do get the shot. I am 49 going on 50 years old. I hope that this helps you in some small way. Good Luck!

Answer 3

I think it helps the one who didn't get the shot. Of course, if the one who did not get the shot is around others who didn't get the shot, and one of them gets the flu, then everyone around that person who did not get the shot will get the flu.

Weird, isn't it?

Answer 4

I don't think so.....I have gotten the flu shot for the last three years and my husband hasn't and he has not gotten sick.
