A member asked:
Daughter received quad flu shot today. this afternoon she started to sneeze and her nose began to run. will her flu shot be less effective if she is fighting off an illness at the same time as acquiring immunity from the vaccine?

Wouldn't think so: The body fights off many germ challenges daily from the material that enters the throat/airway. Research estimates this as in the hundreds of various encounters. A cold virus would neither be a reason to delay a flu shot or think it would prevent full benefit from its use.
