Could having the flu vaccine help with sinusitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necesarily: The flu vaccine can help you avoid the flu and some who get flu may have sinusitis as a complication.Other than that specific possibility, i see no way the flu shot has any benefit to anyone who has or may get a sinusitis.
