Are you asserting that you got the flu from the shot, or that the shot didn't work?
People who get sick a coupla days after getting the shot are not getting sick from the shot... the gestation period of the virus is longer than a couple of days.
If it's a longer period of time, say two or three weeks afterwards, you most likely got a different strain of the flu than what the shot was formulated for.
Doctors here can speak up and clarify/embellish.
I've taken the shot for years. No problems and no flu.
