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

| Wondering if social distancing and lack of exposure to common illnesses over past months affects our immune response to the shot. |

| None except for arm soreness |

| No, about the same amount of soreness as usual. No other issues. |

I felt crappy this year, but with everyone at home I also think it was easier to just sit around and wallow in the crappiness rather than get on with life. I'm not sure I felt worse, perhaps just noticed it more.
Out pediatrician did all our shots in our car, though, and I realized it didn't hurt at all. Not one bit. I think because there was none of the anticipatory anxiety that pops up when I walk into any medical place. |

| I didn't even have arm soreness. This was about the easiest one I've ever had. |

| My son and I had ours Tuesday. So far neither of us have had any side effects, though I noticed for the first time ever, my arm isn't sore at all. |

| No side effects for our family of 4. |

| None. My shot barely hurt at all and my arm wasn't really sore, either. I was a bit tired in the afternoon, but can't say for sure that was due to the shot or the long walk we took in the morning. |
