Are experiencing flu symptoms after a flu shot normal?

by Symptom Advice on February 11, 2011

I just got a flu shot yesterday, and I woke up today with a little bit of a sore throat. I know I should probably just call my doctor but I just thought I'd ask on here first.

So is it at all normal to experience one of the flu symptoms after receiving a flu shot?

Thanks.

Yes, normal. also, you might have a sore throat due to cold or some other ailment.

A flu shot is the doctor injecting a small part of the flu into you so that your body can build your immune system stong enough to defeat it if you actually get it. so yes, having flu symptoms after the flu shot is VERY normal.
