Flu shots

[SeaBee]

So it's obviously a bad idea to train with the flu in your system... So can one train after getting a flu shot - and if not, for how long?

 

Or is it not worth worrying and it's business as usual?

No needles policy will make you a doper if you don't have a doctors prescription.

I trained the following day. No ill effects.

you should have no problems training straight away, especially if you have no flu like symptoms

When i had my flu shot done last month, i phoned and asked the doc if it is ok to train after, and i asked the nurse at Dischem and both said it was fine. They said i can carry on the same day and i did - went spinning that same afternoon and have been fine.

Just don't go when you have a cold/flue with fever - then it is less effective at giving you immunity. Resent work also shows its best to have a mild training session (even if just a good walk) just before - makes it more effective!

Cool, thanks! Suspected it to be the case - and then got thinking - always dangerous...

 

Nope, I'm perfectly fine, just a bit of allergy sinus - that time of year, fortunately passing. So no worries there!

A flu shot gives no you no symptoms, should you have any then you've already got the flu. I've gotten mine each year for the last five and it makes a difference for me.
