Who Should NOT Get a Flu Shot

Everyone can benefit from getting a flu shot, so it is safer to get vaccinated. However, there are groups of people who are considered to be exceptions. So, before going to a nearby pharmacy in California to take advantage of their free flu vaccination, make sure you are not among the people who should not get a flu shot.

Here are the people who should not get the vaccine:

• People with a life-threatening allergic reaction to the vaccine.
  The flu vaccine may cause an allergic reaction to the body. You may be allergic to the vaccine itself or some of its components. If you have suffered from life-threatening allergic reactions after getting a shot in the past, then you should skip the free vaccination event at the nearby independent pharmacy.
• Infants under six months old.
  Take note: the flu vaccine is not approved for infants under six months of age. This is due to the fact that the little ones are highly likely to develop flu complications if they get a shot at this age.
• People who are extremely ill.
  Do you have pneumonia or a very high fever? Have you just been admitted to the hospital? Wait until you get better before you get a flu vaccine.
