Did you have more side effects than usual to this year’s flu shot?

Anonymous
A little sore for a day, exact same as usual.

Nope, but I had mine done at my kids' pediatrician.

I had an achy feeling all over and fatigue for about 24 hours, which is more than usual for me. One of my kids had lot of pain in his shoulder and developed a fever the next day.

Nope. Just a sore arm, like usual.

Yes, same here.


No pain, no soreness. It was great!

Three people on our household got it. They all were fine and had no side effects other than a little arm soreness. (I fall into the population of people who can’t get it, so I’m grateful they all got it.)

None for us, either.

All 4 of us got the shot on the same day. One kid reported a sore arm, the rest of us were totally fine. I kept waiting for the sore arm and it never came. Easiest flu shot ever.

Sounds like you and your kid might have had a little bug that was already festering when you got your flu shots.

No pain. No soreness. Went to the local Safeway.

Better than last year. Last year I was sore for a day. This year I didn't feel it 10 minutes later.

I had none.

Last year, my arm was sore.

This year, my arm was very sore/lumpy where I got my tetanus, but not for the flu shot.
