Can the flu linger for a month ? i had the flu shot and have been sick on and off every since i got it . joints have hurt since i got the shot as well

? A coincidence: It is really surprising how many people report flu-like symptoms after receiving influenza vaccine. While there may be mild, temporary symptoms, including joint pain, associated with developing your immune response to the flu, we don't believe individuals actually get the flu after a flu shot.Symptoms which have lasted a month should be attributed to a coincidental different viral illness.
