Is it safe for me to get a flu shot?

Yes, getting a flu shot is generally safe. There are some rare side effects that can occur, such as soreness or swelling at the injection site, headache, fever and muscle pain. Most people have no reaction or only mild ones. But it’s important to note that flu shots cannot cause you to get the flu since they are made from dead viruses that cannot cause an infection.

It’s also worth noting for people who are allergic to eggs – some flu shots contain trace amounts of egg protein and may cause an allergic reaction in some people.

Overall, getting a flu shot is considered safe and the benefits of protecting yourself against the flu far outweigh any risks. Talk to your healthcare provider if you have concerns about getting a flu shot.

Yes, it is safe for you to get a flu shot. Flu shots have been proven to be safe and effective in preventing the flu. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises that anyone six months of age and older should get a flu shot every year. The vaccine cannot give you the flu and may reduce your risk of severe illness from the virus. Talk to your doctor if you are concerned about any potential side effects or complications before getting a flu shot.
