Will the flu jab make me ill?

My dad said it will make me ill for two weeks.


Appoitment is this Saturday.Will the flu jab make me ill?
The jab will either contain weakened, inactive, or dead forms of the pathogen. You might get a fever when your immune system reacts to the pathogens, but it would last only a day or so if that. Its definitely better than getting the real thing.Will the flu jab make me ill?
Your father is misinformed. Have him read this.





The flu vaccine you will receive contains a dead virus. You cannot get the flu from a dead virus. You cannot get a disease from a dead virus. It's dead. However, you may develop symptoms and I'll explain why. On the surface of the dead viruses in the vaccine are proteins called antigens. Antigens trigger the production of antibodies, the first step in the body's immune response. Antibodies signal for and draw white blood cells to the dead viruses to fight the ';invaders';. Dead or not, the viruses are regarded as invaders and your body will respond accordingly. You may (or may not) feel mild symptoms for 2 or 3 days, but this will not be the flu -- it will be your own body's response to the antigens.





';Alex C'; stated that the vaccine will contain ';weakened, inactive or dead'; viruses. Let me clarify this. The injectable vaccine contains a dead virus (I'd call that inactive, wouldn't you?) and the intranasal vaccine (FluMist) contains an attenuated (weakened) virus.
No, Any Sort Of Jabs Will Not Make You ill Basically its a killed form of the disease witch makes the your body create antibodies witch make it easier for the white blood cells to engulf the bacteria/virus And your Body Will Make them Faster For That Disease Witch Reduces the Chance Of that illness


And Your Dad is only messing around

No as it is not a live culture the only thing that effects some people is they are allergic to eggs. You may well find that you do feel a bit down but this may last for only a day or two and is nothing to worry about.
Some people can have a minor reaction to vaccines but it's not going to make you ill for a fortnight, go and tell your dad off for telling you lies.
No it won't. It is made from a killed virus so you will not get the virus. It can possible cause your immune system to be down for a couple of days.
I have had the flu jab for years and never been ill but some people have told me that they have felt reactions from it for a few days
Rubbish. I had one recently and was not ill. They would not give it to you if it made you ill for 2 weeks.
listen to yore dad
