A member asked:

Dad 81 recovered from cold early this week. flu vac- 1/15. 1/17 -cold cough bit cracked voice. taking c-syrup & antihist tab. side effect of flu shot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doubtful: In my opinion, If Dad had an upper respiratory tract infection shortly before receiving the flu shot it's quite likely that his symptoms of cough and some laryngitis were remnants of the upper respiratory tract infection rather than a reaction to the flu shot.
