A member asked:
Is it possible to get a flu virus that i am not immune to and not get sick at all after getting the flu virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That's possible: Some people have no symptoms after catching the flu virus. Nobody knows how to predict which persons will have no symptoms after catching the virus. Also, because we don't know who is NOT immune to a particular flu virus, we really don't know how many NON-immune people have no symptoms after catching the virus. I would guess that most NON-immune people do get symptoms after catching the virus.
