to wonder if flu jab side effects are particularly bad this year?
(110 Posts)Had mine a couple of days ago, feeling pretty awful today. I'm pretty sure it's just side effects so hopefully won't last too long, but I'm just wondering if it's been kicking people's butts particularly hard this year? (The flu jab, I mean, not the flu itself.)
I didn't have any side effects at all
I've noticed nothing but a slightly sore arm. DSs had nasal spray, and both been on top form, despite getting the sniffles in previous years. DH has had neither and has an absolutely horrid cold at the moment, sinuses, headaches, aches etc
I had mine in Sept and didn't have any side effects other than a sore arm.
Nope, none of us at work had any side effects at all. There are some nasty viruses doing the rounds though.
I've gave 50 do far at work and haven't heard anything much apart from a few sore arms.
I was absolutely fine other than a bit of a tender arm.
Flu jab isn't a live vaccine.
Whatever you have you either a) already picked up or b) is a strain of flu that isnt being vaccinated against this time
Dh had no side effects
Had mine end of September, no issues whatsoever
No side effects this year for us and in fact the only year I had any was when I was pregnant so could you be OP?
I had no side effects this year either other than a sore arm
No side effects
Not a live vaccine from what I remember being told? Only the nasal are live is that right?
i had mine about 3 weeks ago and no side effects
Nope. Nor any of my colleagues. As PP said, it isnt a live vaccine so anything you've got will have just coincided with you getting the vaccine
Fine for me too.
No side effects here for me or my teens .
No side effects apart from a sore arm, it’s not a live vaccine.
What Crunchymum said.
No side effects for me or my colleagues either.
Probably not a side effect, you're probably just ill. A friend of mine came down with flu a few days after having the jab, she was just unfortunate and had already contracted the virus before having the jab.
Had mine in October and no side effects.
Definitely not pregnant @XXMansplainShieldAct
I was fine but both my DC were unwell afterwards which hasn't happened before. I did wonder if it was related.
