The flu shot's long term side affects can not be tested. There is no way you can know what the results of the shot can be. At the same time you should be worried about getting the flu, while it is not dangerous now, that could change. I say don't get the shot and do all you can to not get the flu. Wash hands, don't come into contact with people, etc.

Get the flu shot. It is dangerous now, the flu does still kill hundreds of thousands of people per year. Even people who are young and healthy can be killed by the flu.

 

Side effects like this one are exceptionally rare and in this case it may well be a coincidence. I mean has the illness actually been linked to the flu shot except for being in the same timeframe?
