Flu jab side effects

5 replies

My partner and I both got the flu jab last night.

I’ve had it twice before and never had any side effects, but this time I do and I’m wondering if anyone else can relate!

Today I feel really ropey. Nausea, fatigue and just generally run down and spaced out. Partner feels the same.

I wasn’t expecting this at all Shock Someone tell me it will be gone tomorrow!

Vaccine reactions tend to be short lived as your body recognizes that you're not actually sick. You should feel better tomorrow, unless you're sick with something else.

It's normal although I didn't have any side effects this year. Should all improve within a couple of days.

I’ve never had side effects from a flu jab, or any other jab.
So the way my first AZ made me feel was unexpected !

I also wonder if it’s a coincidence, and you’ve both actually got a bug.
