It's attenuated, so theoretically it can not cause the flu.

and yet people get the flu from the vaccine.
So much for theoretical.

Flu vaccine does not mean no flu. It has very little efficacy and is usually about 30% effective.
The 2018 Flu Vaccine Was Only 29% Effective

The 2018 Flu Vaccine Was Only 29% Effective — but Experts Still Recommend It
The flu vaccine for the 2018–2019 season was only 29 percent effective.
The main reason for the vaccine’s ineffectiveness was a strain of H3N2 flu that developed in the spring.

I said it was about 30% effective, the actual post says 29%. Somehow I was disingenuous? I was actually being generous. It was only 22% effective against the major strain.
