Remember that the flu vaccine cannot cause the flu. Sometimes, people who get vaccinated during flu season catch the flu in the two weeks before the vaccine has a chance to fully work. While it's human nature to see a link between the two events, there's no medical evidence that flu vaccines cause flu or make people susceptible to flu. And even though flu vaccines are not 100% effective -- vaccinated people sometimes get flu infections -- vaccinated people almost always have milder flu than people who weren't vaccinated.
