Our expert says:If you are feverish, don't get the vaccine, but if you just have a slight runny nose, you can have it. The flu vaccine is a dead virus ( the body makes antibodies which recognize the covering of the virus) so it can not make you sick. The immunity reaction however may put more stress on the body, causing already sick people to get worse. The information provided does not constitute a diagnosis of your condition.
