Be sure to notify your doctor of any side effects that occur after you receive this vaccine.
This vaccine may cause a serious allergic reaction, including anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. Tell your doctor right away if you have a rash, itching, a fast heartbeat, trouble breathing or swallowing, or any swelling of your hands, face, or mouth after receiving the vaccine.
This vaccine may not protect everyone who receives it. The vaccine will not treat flu symptoms if you already have the virus.
Fainting may occur after you receive this vaccine. You may need to be monitored for a short period of time after you get the injection.
Tell your doctor if you are using a medicine or treatment that weakens your immune system, such as a steroid, radiation, or cancer treatment. This vaccine may not work as well if you are also using these medicines. However, your doctor may still want you to get the vaccine because it can give you some protection.
