Can you get the flu from someone who got the flu from the flu shot?

Question:

Answers:
YES!

People fail to realize that the flu shot is ONE strain that they're being inoculated from. There are several strains going around EVERY year. You can get the shot & still get the flu from someone with a different strain.

I don't get one & should due to my asthma. I'm extremely careful when I come home from being out. I wash my hands with antibacterial soap up to my elbows in warm water for 1 minute. My son sets the kitchen timer & we switch. I don't touch the timer with my bare hands. I use a papertowel to reset it, then a Clorox wipe when we're done. I also use Lysol around the house to kill any germs that may linger. I use the Clorox wipes all over the house, on doorknobs especially. We get our share of colds BUT we're not sick for more than 7 or 8 days start to finish with the cold.

you can get the flu from anyone who has the flu

Yes, you can. It doesn't matter where they got it from, the flu is the flu.

It is a farce that you can get the flu from the flu shot. You MAY have a mild reaction afterwards, resembling a mild case of the flu, due to your immune response from the vaccine, but you can't "get the flu" from the vaccine. The ONLY live virus that I know of that was given and ever caused the disease it was supposed to protect you from is the old polio vaccine.
