Just lucky? Or it's a strain of the flu that you weren't inoculated against.

Well the thing is shots basically give you a less agressive version of the disease, ie flu, ect... When you get the shot it basically is infecting you at a lower level but it is not a cure or total prevention, it is supposed to reduce your risk or how sick you end up... Tho there are cases that shots screwed up lives totally, they are kept out of the media most times, money money money...

Next time just try daily vitamins , sensible diet , and exercise . If you already do that then that's it for me .

when they give you the flu shot they are putting influenza into your system hoping your antibodies will learn how to fight it, sometimes if you are sick or ran down already the flu shot can give you the flu

Because there are thousands of strains of flu, and new ones mutate all the time, flu vaccinations only vaccinate against the currently stored strains of flu that the medical world had managed to contain and create a vaccine for.
