Flu Shot helps: Influenza is differentiated from a cold by the presence of high fever, body aches and chills. Also presence during higher prevalence time for influenza. This is the condition which the flu vaccine is available to help prevent. Many conditions are referred to as 'flu' such as stomach flu, or the common cold. All of the above typically run their course in healthy people. If concerned see your Doc

Flu: Most people in their 20's recover from the flu without incident, although feeling bad for several days is be expected. Antiviral therapy can help you feel better if started within 48 hours of symptom onset.
