Flu vaccine, is this a long term side effect??

Hi,
I had a flu jab back in December. Prior to it I hadn't really been out much due to Covid restrictions. I had no cold or flu symptoms at that time.

Had the jab in my local surgery in a much improved orderly manor ( vast improvement on previous years) . All good at the time . We all had masks on, even while in the line outside .

Within a few hours I devolved the sniffles. Thinking about I have had a runny nose ( to the point I have to wake up to blow my nose several times a night ) ever since.

Could this be down to the vaccine I had ? Has anyone else had a similar symptom.

NB. I still haven't been out, am shielding so don't see anyone , so can't be just catching colds from randoms encounters .

I don't think a cold would last this long and I've had a flu vaccine every year for about about 25 years and not heard of this as a side affect.

Do you think it could be something else going on?

Not sure I've had flu vaccine for last 5 years and this is the first time this has happened?!? Still sniffly and getting a bit fed up with it now.
