A flu shot will not give you the flu, but might cause a slight immune response, which is good because it shows your body is reacting, says Kristen Rundell, MD, a Family Medicine physician at Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center. She emphasizes that even if you didn’t get a flu shot in previous years and didn’t get the flu, it’s time to start—after all, you’re another year older and the consequences of the flu can be serious.
