What's up w/ these flu shots? Can't say that the flu shot had anything to do w/ it, but it sure was a coincidence.

You probably already had the FLU (not FLUE) in your system. It takes about 2 weeks for the vaccine to work. If it was, the flu shot did nothing, may have made it worse, since it's a weakened, not dead, virus.
It can also take awhile after exposure for symptoms to appear. Doesn't happen right away.
And the shots are good for several months.
