Will a flu vaccine help after being exposed to it?
Unless you have specific lab tests to identify the exact strain of the flu to which you were exposed, you would be better off to get the shot than assume you don't need the shot and risk getting exposed to it later. A better treatment for prevention of flu after exposure and/or reduction in severity and duration of symptoms, could be Tamiflu. Check with your health care professional if you think you have been exposed, to be most effective, the anti-viral medicines should be taken in the first 40 hours after exposure.
