A member asked:
I had the flu shot but a day later had a solumedrol shot and put on a short course of prednisone (4 days). do i need to get another flu shot? and if i do how long after the first flu shot do i get a second one?

No: You do not need another flu shot. Why solumedrol shot? If you are taking prednisone, it makes no sense to add solumedrol. Why prednisone?
