Bad Flu Shot?

I had a similar reaction to the flu shot. I received the vaccine on Sun afternoon. By the evening my entire arm, neck and shoulder ached. The next day, I was sick - in bed. Today, Tues. I am achy all over and rather sluggish.

...and this is why I refuse to get a flu shot

I find it really interesting that there are all these bad reactions to flu shots. I have gotten one most years and will continue to get them as long as I can. Last year my arm was achy for about a day, but this year, I had absolutely zero effect from it. I guess I should count my blessings!

There may be other reasons why you won't allow it.........one of which could be that you haven't had enough education about it. Go to the CDC's website with your concern. They'll make sure to give you correct information that isn't "anecdotal" (based on just a few people's tales which may not be correct).

Can I ask were you are located? I am the infection control nurse at my facility and most of the patients can not communicate the pain I want to be sure I monitor them closely
thanks
