FAQ: Question

Q: Can I get the flu from the flu shot?

FAQ: Answer

A: You cannot get the flu from a flu shot. The viruses in the flu shot are killed (inactivated). Some minor side effects that could occur are: soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given, as well as low-grade fever and aches.


If these problems occur, they begin soon after the shot and usually last 1 to 2 days. Almost all people who receive influenza vaccine have no serious problems from it. However, on rare occasions, flu vaccination can cause serious problems, such as severe allergic reactions. As of July 1, 2005, people who think that they have been injured by the flu shot can file a claim for compensation from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).

Other people who should not get flu shots: anyone who had had a severe allergy to chicken eggs, anyone who has had a severe reaction to an influenza vaccination, and anyone who has developed Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) within 6 weeks of getting an influenza vaccine.
