A member asked:

Side effects of flu shot in infants? also, would they be contagious? 6mo got flu shot on friday and has had elevated temp no fever runny nose cough

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unrelated: The child's symptoms are unrelated to the vaccine. It is possible the child came in contact with someone with a cold around that time. The flu vaccine is a dead virus vaccine, does not cause illness, nor is the patient who receives the vaccine contagious.
