So if you are exposed to the virus prior to that, then you get the flu, and "the shot gave me the flu!!" Sorry, I don't mean to come off like a jerk, or jump on anybody... But I travel around giving flu shots to different companies here in town, and I hear that stuff all the time. You folks have a good night.

Soooo, since it takes 2 weeks to work, then if you are not sick when you get this wonderous flu shot, you should quarantine yourself for that time period to ensure you don't run into the virus in question. Yeah, where is the line? I want to pay my 29 bucks for a shot now!
