Not recently. A month or two ago.
There has been a cold type thingy going around at work, I assume it is that.
Yeah.. my wife and I both had the vaccine. Both got sick 2 or 3 weeks later but was relatively mild compared to previous years. (never took a vaccine until 2020ish)
I have been having flu vaccines for over a decade and have never become ill afterwards. I think trying to link a cold which is currently circulating at work to a flu vaccine two months ago is a bit of a stretch.
Ah no, I was mainly referring to the fact that you had a cold that didn't develop beyond mild symptoms.
My wife and I both used to have lots of symptoms before starting flu vaccines. After that, our illnesses have been milder than before.
