Flu jab this yer

[User158340]

Did anyone have symptoms after having it this year?

I felt a bit dodgy for a couple of days, some headaches and nausea and some muscle aches (a bad back) and fine now. Wouldn't normally even notice symptoms at all.

I put it down to lowered immune system after not really going anywhere for months.

*year

No, nothing at all.

I had nausea for a couple of days. Am fine now. It did say nausea was a side effect..

I had a sore arm.

No none. Not even a sore arm this time.

I had a sore arm for a couple of days that's all

I felt a bit nauseous on & off for a few days & wiped out. I feel permanently bloody exhausted, but this made me want to actually sleep.

My arm didn't hurt.

Mildly sore arm nothing else. Never have had tbh.

No very mild sore arm on the day but by the following morning I couldn’t even see when the injection site was. Felt completely fine.

Yeah I was the same. Mostly just the day after having it, as was okay the day I took it.

Wondered if it was the vaccine or i'd picked something up in the surgery.

Which one did you have? I had the sanofi and had no symptoms.

I had a thread on this some weeks back to help me decide whether to take it or not, as I often have debilitating side effects.

Thanks to everyone's posts, I decided to have it, and happy to report I had only a sore arm that came on after a few days and lasted about a week until the swelling went down.

I felt ridiculously anxious for about 3 days and then back to normal... was very strange

I felt a bit rough the same night, like a cold coming on with a headache, but was fine the next morning.

First time I’ve ever had any side effects (apart from a vaguely sore arm) but then maybe I was just paying more attention this year.

Very mild sore arm a couple of days later. It's not a live virus so not really possible for it to give you cold/flu symptoms.

I had just a sore arm for a couple of days, my eldest who is nearly 20 felt a bit under the weather after his.

I had it three days ago and feel absolutely fine. A few colleagues said their arms were sore afterwards but mine is fine.

Nothing this year, not even the sore arm

Depends how you’re defining cold/flu symptoms I suppose but it’s included in the medication patient pamphlet.

Just because it’s not live doesn’t mean your immune system doesn’t have a response. It’s meant to.

I've never had a symptom from any Flu vaccine. I used to get them free from work, so I've had a lot.

One vaccine i got to travel to Mexico gave me the most dead arm ever. I couldnt raise it for about 24 hours.

No nothing. I have one every year and some years have been worse than others. This one has been fine. The Hep B booster jab I just had for work though is another matter!!!! Ugh!

No this year i had no symptoms from flu jab and I have low immune system.

Mildly sore arm when I lifted it above my head but apart from that I’ve felt fine. DP was fine too.

This year I have been fine except sore arm for few days and that was it.

Me too, and I do get the sore arm. Maybe it’s my covvac gift
