He said anybody six months or older is eligible to get the shot.<\/p>\n
He talked about the biggest myths about the flu shot. He said the vaccine cannot give you the infection itself. If you are feeling rundown after getting the shot, it\u2019s a sign your immune system is doing its job.<\/p>\n
The symptoms should resolve quickly, he said.<\/p>\n
