I had mine on Friday and have felt fine except like someone's punched me in the arm.

Read 'flu jab side effects' on NHS: www.nhs.uk/Conditions/vaccinations/Pages/flu-vaccine-side-effects.aspx

I had whooping cough one week which just left me with a sore arm and my flu jab the week after, again I was left with a sore arm. The following day I had achey muscles all over and felt drained, it was my immune system reacting. I was fine the day after.

I feel so sick! Probably caught a bug and it's just coincidence I got the jags a few days ago! Thanks ladies! X

I had the flu jab on a Saturday morning and by the Sunday night I was a mess. Had to take the following week off work because I couldn't get out of bed where I was so ill. I've only ever had the flu jab once before that, about 10 years ago, and the same thing happened. I vowed I'd never have it again but I convinced myself it couldn't happen a second time and that I should do it to protect baby and myself. I was wrong!

I'm dreading getting the whooping cough vaccine Sad I'd had it booked in for December 23rd but I've moved it back to the first week in January now in case it makes me sick over Christmas.

I feel really unwell, trying to just power through the day! I pushed my jabs back as long as I could because I'm terrified of needles. I wish someone told me of the side effects before I got it though! I feel so rubbish, I have 10 weeks to go and it can't come fast enough!
