Can the flu shot make me sick?

No, flu vaccines cannot cause flu illness. Some people report having mild side effects after flu vaccination, such as:

  • Muscle aches
  • Low-grade fever
  • Headaches
  • Arm pain at the injection site

To help ease the pain and avoid the symptoms, you can take a pain reliever like Tylenol or ibuprofen for muscle aches, headaches, and a low-grade fever.

For arm pain, apply a cool compress and keep your arm moving after the shot.
