Flu vs. cold symptoms“People often confuse a cold with flu or influenza because they share some of the same symptoms and occur at the same time of year, but the two diseases are very different,” Eric A. Weiss, an emergency medicine physician with Stanford Health Care, tells Yahoo Lifestyle. Story continuesSince symptoms don’t typically start until the second day of being infected, it’s possible for people to pass on the flu one day before getting symptoms. People are typically the most contagious three or four days after they first get sick.
“Even if you do get influenza [after being vaccinated], it will often lessen the symptoms, reduce your chances of complications, and decrease the time that you are sick and spreading the virus to your family members,” says Weiss.
