A member asked:

Would it be bad for you to get two flu shots in a short amount of time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why will you do that: There is no need to get two flu shots, flu shots are given once a year from october on and you should get these every year to protect yourself against flu.Only exception was h1n1 flu vaccine which was needed few years ago.But if you get two shots by error there will be no harm done.
