The virus that is found in the shot is inactive. Your immune system must have already been fighting something else that caused the reaction. I'm not saying you didn't get sick or that it wasn't the flu, it's just that it may have been the trigger that caused another strain of the flu or some other virus to win its battle. The CDC recommends older folks or those with some type of immune system problem, healthcare workers, and youngins that may be more vulnerable to take them.
