Can you get the flu from a flu shot?!


Question: Can you get the flu from a flu shot.?
Because doesn't the flu shot have a weak virus inside, thus making your body fight it and immune to it.?

I'm asking on behalf of my 4 year old brother. Is it more strong for little kids.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
No.

of course the influenza vaccine is made from dead "pieces-parts" of influenza viruses . There is nothing at all alive in the vaccine. It cannot possibly give you the flu.Health Question & Answer

Flu vaccines give the person a very small dose of the flu so there body can protect itself from the flu itself. It is possible for the vaccine to hurt or possibly kill your younger brother. I STRONGLY suggest having your brother get checked by a doctor so you will know if he can have the vaccine or not. I also HIGHLY SUGGEST do not let your brother go WITHOUT the vaccine or he will for sure die.

Because people with certain diseases like Lupus or maybe people with an immune system that kills everything including the good things or perhaps people with rather weak immune systems are also in risk of getting horribly sick or dieing from the Flu Vaccine.
Health Question & Answer

It doesn't have a weak virus it has a dead virus, so no, you cannot get sick from the flu shot. HOWEVER, my own little tid-bit...I do not believe in the flu shot. Why.? Because the flu has millions of different strands and the flu shot only protects you against 1 strand. They have no way of ever figuring out which strand will be prevalent each year, so the make an educated guess. Do you think the CDC has even guessed right.? Nope. So basically you flu shot is pointless. I am a health care clinician with direct patient care and I don't get the flu shot. Why get poked if it's not going to even protect me from anything.?Health Question & Answer

No it can't give you the flu.

The vaccine doesn't contain any live virus. Some people might experience mild side effects; a sore arm where they were injected or a slight rise in temperature, but any other reactions are very rare.

As for your brother only being four, rest assured that the dose will be given according to his age.
