I've been vegan for about two years now, and I'd say I feel like I get sick less often than before. I generally feel much better overall, although I think this is more likely down to a decrease in the amount of processed foods I eat, rather than specifically vegan.
As others have said, if you're worried maybe keep a closer eye on what you're eating for a bit, to make sure you're getting a decent amount of nutrients.
It seems like there have been some pretty brutal flus/sickness/viral shit going around this season though, pretty much everyone seems to have caught something, so maybe it's just a thing.

Did anyone else seem to suffer more the first time they got ill after going vegan?
It’s only been about 6 weeks since i decided to give it a go but i have had my ass kicked for the last 8 days by some horrendous cold/chest infection thing. I very rarely get ill if i’m honest, but this has got me wondering if the change in diet has anything to do with it.
