Ugh, flu shot yesterday and I feel yucky today.

rgG, your experience says you have a very good immune response. Those of us who only have slight injection site pain and nothing else aren’t as well armed against the flu.

My daughter who is actively immune suppressed (kidney transplant) got her flu shot on the first day it became available and will get a booster in December. The booster will just be another dose of the same stuff.

Ugh, feel better soon. Good investment in staying well this fall and winter, influenza A is already bad here in the Upstate.

I'm getting my flu shot this week, under 65 version, and I hope it's kinder to me than the bivalent covid booster was.

Thank you for protecting not only yourself; but those in contact with you. I hope you feel much better after a good night’s sleep.

I got my flu and first shingles shot on Saturday. Must have been lucky, no side effects to speak of.

It’s the second shingles shot you need to be prepared for. Make sure you don’t plan much for the next day, or two.

After the vaccination, I got an e-mail from my health provider with a link to some follow-up information. (see below)

----
TIPS FOR SIDE EFFECTS
Painful areas: apply a cool damp cloth or a wrapped ice pack.
Discomfort from side effects: take medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol®) or ibuprofen (Advil®). ASA (e.g., Aspirin®) should not be given to anyone under 18 years
of age. If you are pregnant, do not take ibuprofen (Advil®). Treat discomfort or fever with Tylenol® instead.
Most side effects are not serious and should go away on their own.

This is the modern equivalent of "take two aspirin and call me in the morning" - we all know that Drs no longer want to be called - ever.

I think you're fine especially taking some acetaminophen... easier on your stomach. For upset stomach, the old standbys are good: chicken soup, ginger ale, pepto-bismol, etc.

I hope you feel better. Yikes.

I felt a lot better today.
Thanks for all the good thoughts.
