I always used to have a flu jab, but it always coincided with me getting a bout of mild flu a short time afterwards... ie sore throat, ache muscles, generally feeling ill, and ill enough to be off work... it happened several times and I decided against having it again..
My mum had the flu jab last week, and is experiencing the same symptoms, this happened to her last year as well.
I just wondered if this was a common side effect with other people too? as I was told that it can't give you flu as its not a live vaccine...
so If you've had the same symptoms, please share them with me
