How long after getting the shot did you "get sick" and what type of sick was it? Did it hit you like other flu you've had?

After you get the flu shot, it takes about 14 days before you achieve the full protection... and you can get flu during that time.

Also, the shot is for a specific strain of the flu. If you were infected with a different strain, it probably wouldn't protect you... also you could have been exposed to the virus a few days before you got the shot.

This is all from my knowledge gained while talking to docs, nurses, shot givers and viewing TV news segments on the subject. If anyone here knows different, please chime in.
