What is the purpose of this study?

The purpose of this study is to find out how often adverse events (side effects) occur after a flu shot. Information about side effects to the flu shot will be collected using a web-based survey.

What does the study involve?

You will complete two online surveys that will take about 5 minutes each.
1. Flu Vaccine Safety Survey – Complete AFTER you get the flu shot in 2017. An email will be sent eight days after your flu        shot with the link to the survey.
2. Pre-Flu Vaccine Safety Survey – Complete BEFORE you get the flu shot in 2018. An email will be sent with the link for            this survey to capture any health issues.
