Dh just got the flu and swine flu vaccine a few days ago. Yesterday he was sick. Is it possible for him to give it to anyone? I heard that the swine flu cannot be spread if it is given in shot form, but what about the flu vaccine?

Which one did he get, the injection or the mist?

The mist can "shed" for up to 21 days.

You are not "supposed" to get sick with the injection, but I have read countless stories of people getting sick after getting the shot. So, if he was sick with a flu virus, sure he could spread it.

Yep

I know a ton of people who have gotten sick from the flu and H1N1 shots (both injections and mist). In fact, I only know of one person who DIDN'T get sick. If he is sick, he can spread it around.
