Flu Jab - Did you experience side effects after?

[Blossom4538]

I’m having my first one this week! I tend to be unlucky with side effects from jabs! Nothing serious, just the usual, although was terrible after first covid vax.

nope. felt absolutely bar a slightly sore arm after flu jab.

After both covid jab had an achy arm and was really lethargic for a few days. After the whooping cough vaccine (a few days after the flu jab) i felt really ill so would not recommend having those too close together

None at all (phew). I frankly bottled getting a flu jab until last year because Ddad always reckoned he got ill after his. DM didn't so I clearly take after her because I was fine this year and last. My COVID-19 vaccine (AZ) knocked me out for a week (dose one) and an afternoon (dose two). Good luck OP

No, nope, nothing not even a sore arm.

Last years flu jab made me feel unwell for a day or two but this year I had a sore arm for about ten minutes and nothing else.

No but then I never seem to react to vaccines.

Had mine yesterday, I had a sore arm almost straight away, but that is OK today, had to take a painkiller during the night due to pains in my legs.

I do have fibromyalgia though and think I react more to things, I have had other years when I didn’t have any problems and I have had a flu jab due to asthma for over 20 years.

I've had them the last 3 years. Just an achy arm for a few hours that's all. I'm 47.

Not this year. I usually get a sore arm, but not even that this time

I'm now into a decade of flu jabs, and I've never had anything more than half a day of aching arm on the odd occasion.

None at all

Forgot I'd had it until DH asked me why I was still wearing the plaster 4 days later (I do shower, honest..)

Like you, I also felt terrible after 1st covid jab (AZ). I have felt a little ill after flu jabs previously, but this year's flu jab gave me no side effects other than a very slightly sore arm.

Yes. Aching muscles and shivering (but no fever), and very tired

Thanks all!

I have it every year and never get ill from it. Whatever was in last year's strain made me really ill though. Felt like I had flu for 24 hours afterwards

Nothing beyond a slightly achy arm for a few hours.

Yes never have any side effects from any jabs including covid jabs. But this year’s flu jab had me on the sofa barely able to do anything the following day. Absolutely fine the next day though.

I had my flu jab on Saturday and got nothing, no side effects and not even a plaster!

No.
We all had it at work, not one side effect.

Awful sore arm and just generally feeling washed out for a couple of days.
Had my covid booster recently as well and that gave me headaches and extreme tiredness for 2 days.

A couple of colleagues had both together and felt awful afterward.

I've been having it for about ten years now and usually only have a sore arm for about 2-3 days but this time I had a sore armpit, felt as if it was bruised inside was very sore for about 4 days I was quite worried actually

Sore arm for 24-48 hours, but only really noticeable if I knocked it against something.

I don't usually get side effects, but this year I felt very ill for several days

I've never had a bad reaction to a flu jab.

I experienced none whatsoever.

Funnily enough I always feel ill after my flu jab so I stopped having it. I thought maybe I would have the same sort of side effects with the covid jab but nothing apart from an achy arm. I have been offered the flu jab again but I'm in 2 minds if I will take it
