Flu shot reactions?

[Mudslinger]

Anyone have adverse reactions to a flu shot?

Wife got one yesterday and her arm is swollen where she took the shot and she is sick as a dog now. She was shaking and so cold last night that her teeth were chattering and she was making the bed shake! The cold and shaking have stopped, but she hurts all over and very lethargic.

All I got was a sore arm, for a day or so..

Never.

Could be she has the flu. Exposed maybe 2 weeks ago.

Yes I know of a few people this has happened to. Ive heard the flu shot is basically injecting you with the flu to help keep you from getting the flu. Not sure how true it is. Hope she gets better soon.

My wife got a flu shot a few weeks ago and had a site reaction. Her arm was red, swollen, and hot for a few days. She never ran a fever.

Got mine yesterday. My body ached all night and I could not get comfortable. My face was hot and I had a headache. Today my body is stiff and sore.

I think that was when they were still using the LIVE cells . They started using dead cells in 2007 I think! Maybe I’m wrong- it’s happened a lot in my life.

Prayers for her comfort and prompt healing OP.

Wouldn't know, don't get vaxxed for this reason.

Flu shot kicks my but the same way. I quit taking it a few years ago. Figured if I have to feel that bad might as well just get the flu.

Funny thing is I have only had the flu 2 x’s and both times were years that I had the vaccine.

Hope she feels better soon

They say bad reactions are possible but no one in my family has had one and we get flu shots every year. I hope she feels better soon. As stated above, it could be bad timing and she may be sick with the flu from a prior exposure to a sick person.

In any event, I'm sure more anti-vaxxers will be along soon. Anti-vax is the new black.

No reaction here. Got mine Monday, but I always chase the shot with 3 advil.
