The CDC state that flu shots are safe and have a long history of safety behind them.

The shot is recommended for people age 6 months and older, with only a few exceptions.

The following people should talk to their doctor before getting the shot:

*  Those who are allergic to any ingredient in the flu shot
*  Anyone who had a severe allergic reaction to the flu shot in the past
*  Those who have had Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare but severe paralyzing illness
*  People who are currently sick with an illness, such as a fever
