In the past I've found that I am guaranteed to be sick within a few days of getting the shot versus a chance of getting sick in the upcoming season. This includes semi-communal living and healthcare work. I'm not discounting your experience, but in several large randomized controlled trials, the only difference in symptoms between people who got the flu shot and people who got salt water injections was arm soreness/redness. I also think if you're in healthcare, you really need to strongly consider getting the flu shot. You're putting your patients at unnecessary risk. Don't get me wrong, the evidence is definitely on your side as far as a large population goes. I have gotten the flu shot three times, and every time I had flu like symptoms within a few days.
I don't know if it always was, but the current flu shot is killed virus. It can't give you the flu.

I find in most cases, people who get the flu shot and then get sick a few days later were probably already brewing a viral infection that they picked up in the community. Nothing to do with the flu shot besides a temporal association.
