Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Getting a flu shot now will not help Amy with the flu she has contracted. The flu shot is designed to prevent someone from getting the flu or reduce the severity of symptoms if a person does get infected in the future. It takes 1-2 weeks after vaccination for the body to build up immunity against the flu virus, so it wouldn't be helpful in eliminating the flu virus that Amy already has.
