A member asked:
When would a flu shot reaction occur? could it be days later?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Flu vaccine: Most of the time a reaction to a vaccine happens in the first 48 hours. If you got a live virus flu vaccine (like the nasal spray) you could get a fever or reaction even a week later.
