What are the risks of getting a flu shot?
Like any medicine, the flu vaccine could possibly cause serious problems such as severe allergic reactions. Serious problems from the flu vaccine are very rare. The risk of a vaccine causing serious harm or death is extremely small. Since the viruses in the vaccine have been inactivated or killed, you cannot get influenza from the vaccine.
