Flu shot: Does not for certain take away the chance of flu. By percentage 85% of vaccinated will not, or if they do, it makes the illness less severe. There are specific symptoms of the flu and there is a test for the flu, if in doubt go your doctor for testing and treatment of symptoms at least or if needed, there is a treatment for the flu.
