Flu Vaccine 2020 Symptoms

8 replies

Mincepie5 · 16/12/2020 21:22

I had the flu vaccine a few days ago and felt nauseous and headachey and generally rough for a couple of days. Anyone else experience this? I’ve never had this with a flu vaccine before. Bit paranoid about it being another bout of covid as not sure how it would present a second time. Last had covid in May.

I had it in Oct and was fine afterwards

I had a heavy achey arm for a few days, but generally they say any illness is a complete coincidence. Headache could you be dehydrated, when I'm rushing around to appointments I always forget to drink as much.

Slightly achey arm. Nothing else.

I had absolutely no side effects (in the past have been a bit mahhhh!). DH had it the same day and had a very sore arm - otherwise fine.

I had a headache and was achy for a few days. The Zoe app asked me to test for Covid and I was negative. I don't normally get symptoms from the flu vaccine.

I have it every year. This was the first time that I've had no after effects at all, not even an achy arm. Usually my arm hurts and one year the area around the jab site swelled up quite spectacularly. But not this year, for some reason.

V sore arm and a day of feeling generally achy and headachy and then all good.
