If i get flu immunization, how do i know what happens when you get it? can i die from it?

Confusing question: The flu vaccine is composed of purified, non-living material that represents the common flu strains for the year. The immediate effect is transient injection pain followed by soreness in the muscle for a day or less.There is a trace amount of egg protein which limits its use for those with significant egg allergy.For others, the vaccine is quite safe and effective.
