No. Yeast infections can be caused by a number of factors, but there is no link between flu shots and yeast infections. Yeast infections most commonly occur for the following reasons:

1. Sexual intercourse

Although a yeast infection is not an STD, it can be caused by having sex or any other kind of penetration. Penetration can change the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina or the pH level, which may make you more susceptible to infections. This does not mean that you will always, or ever, develop a yeast infection from sex.

2. Stress or lack of sleep

3. Tight Clothing

4. Thongs

5. Sleeping in thongs or underwear

6. Staying in a wet bathing suit long after swimming etc

7. Staying in workout clothes for too long

This also applies to any kind of sweaty clothing.

8. Using flavored condoms or lubricant during intercourse

9. Using a douche

In general, a woman should NEVER use a douche unless advised by a licensed doctor.

10. Dehydration

Can a flu shot cause cellulitis?

Yes, there can be a local infection from a contaminated needle from a flu shot and that would be called cellulitis.

It gets better from exercising the muscle into which the shot was injected. If it is more than two days after the shot and the redness or inflammation is still increasing, then you should seek advice from your health care professional.
