I had my flu jab yesterday and I've had an awful headache ever since.

Do you think this is a coincidence or a result of the jab?

Im 15 weeks and I had my flu jab monday.....I have felt awful since and my arm is really sore I think it is just a reaction to the jab. Nothing too serious and we should both be ok in a couple of days

Coincidence! I had a sore arm at the injection site but apart from that I felt fine.

Same, had the flu jab and had bruised arm for two days but nothing else ( aside from the horrible morning sickness). I was really worried and my GP reassured me it had no effects. They don't actually Inject you with the virus. Don't really understand it but it's safe x

Coincidence.

Hi, I had mine last week. I had a mild headache the next day. Wasn't sure if it was the flu jab or just a new pregnancy symptom but as it was only that one day I would guess it was related to the jab. Other than that I just had a slight bruised feeling around the injection spot.

Maybe its just a bit of a bug ive got from my kids then lol, I didnt thinknit had any side effects but I presumed it must have been the jab! OP hope your headache has gone now

Headache is still going strong, feel sick and dizzy too although this could be down to pregnancy - I did think I had passed the sickness phase about a month ago!
