Question: I Got A Flu Shot This Morning..?
And now I feel like I'm coming down with a cold. How will this effect the shot.? I got it because my mom is 80 and has serious health problems, I did it to protect her. Will it still be effective.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
The flu and a cold are 2 completely different things. While you need to take precautions to keep her from catching the cold, you shouldn't get the flu. Flu shots are not 100% effective and you still may get the flu (its effective only for certain strains, not all strains are covered) so just follow good hand washing!Health Question & Answer
i'm sure that it won't effect it, your body is most likely used to fighting off colds by now. take some vitamin C, and get a lot of rest. airborne also helps if you take it right when you see symptoms of a cold coming on. that way, you won't get a cold, and it will have no way of effecting the shot. but, like others said, the flu shot isn't 100% effective.. the one year that i got the flu shot i ended up with the flu... :/Health Question & Answer
You're shot will not be effected by your cold. You made a good decision to get the flu shot to protect your mom.
