the flu shot gave me a cold?
yesterday i went to my first prenatal appointment ( im 8 weeks pregnant ) the nurse asked me if i wanted to get a flu shot..... she said that the shot was optional but they highly recommend pregnant women to get it. so i agreed and got vaccinated.
this morning i wake up with this severely congested, runny nose, itchy eyes, dry sore throat
so im wondering.... did that flu shot give me a cold ?
i have heard of people getting flu like symptoms after taking the shot
is it common to get sick after getting a flu shot ?

The flu shot is not a "live" virus therefore, it cannot give you the flu or a cold. More than likely you were exposed about a week or so ago and just coincidentally you got sick after your shot.

yes you can get a cold after the shot. but your not supposed to get the shot while pregnant my dr said its not safe. i would go get checked out by someone else

my whole family had this happen to them the doctor said theres no way for that to be the cause and you most likely got sick in the waiting area waiting for the vaccine

It is very possible that you got sick from the flu shot. It happens all the time. I have gotten sick in the past from the flu shot, however my OB wants me to get one anyway, so I am getting one a couple days before I have two days off in a row from work, so I don't miss work.
Good Luck and Feel Better!!
