>>Same with me... the one time my wife and I got flu shots we both got the flu. We don't normally get the flu.

>The flu shot vaccinates against a specific influenza out of 6-8 possibilities. They make their best guess and then produce the vaccine. The atenuated virus that they inject will give you a small reduced case of the flu while the antibodies are being built against it.
