Vaccine causing FLS: The flu vaccine can cause flu-like symptoms (but NOT the actual flu) for a few days after the injection. However, the vaccine is NOT as bad as getting the actual flu. What u r describing sounds like the flu. Hopefully, u r not catching something else (like pnuemonia) by chance (all resp infections have similar symptoms). If u r not getting better in 2-3 days, see a doctor about another diagnosis.
