Stupid flu shot question

[pooh8402]

it is possible you'll feel some symptoms, since it's your immune system working. but you probably don't have the actual flu.

It is possible. Did they give you a piece of paper with the possible side effects? It should be on there. If not you can look it up on the CDC website.

The virus is weakened so much that it isn't making you sick. What's making you feel lousy is your immune system fighting off the attenuated invader.

This exactly. MH usually has 2-3 days where he feels rundown/lousy. As far as I know he has only had the regular flu shot but that side effect can happen from either.
