No Nobody but FluCan: No body has died from flu shot but there has been number of people who died from inflenza. Flu shots are as safe as can be.Some people may rarely get a reaction from the shots like any vaccine like allergic reaction, soreness at site of shot, low grade fever and aches.Very very rarely there have been reports of guillen barre syndrome most of the time there is no reaction. But inflenza can kill;has.
