Nosey Friday ! Health Poll: Flu Shot after-effects ? - cbelt3 - 12-03-2021
Because both Mrs. cbelt3 and I were mighty sore and low grade ill for several days afterwards. Still better than getting full on influenza though.
Official information here from the hard working scientists at the CDC:

Ed: NOT Thursday, thanks all... because I have no idea what day it is. Work from home, all days seem to be the same. Or long haul COVID. Or just dropping myself on my head. Or just a senior moment.:oldfogey:

I'd never had any reaction to a flu vaccine before this year.
Sore arm and felt bad for 2 days. But yes, much easier than influenza!

None whatsoever. The needle seemed longer this year and the process of injection slower.

cbelt3,
My horrifying answer is that neither my wife nor I had any adverse reaction to our flu shots this year. She usually has a sore arm for a couple of days. I rarely notice any adverse reaction.
I think most sore arms are from tensing up and anticipating the poke. Relax and think about taking a nap or something similar.

no effect

I got the flu shot and Covid booster at the same time in the same arm so I can't isolate that flu shot effects vs the Covid shot effects. My arm hurt like hell for a couple of days and I felt fatigued for a day or so.

Very slightly sore arm for the remainder of the day, nothing else.
