How was it? Side effects?

Please, no debate on whether or not to do it. Just reports from those who have rec'd it.

A completely non-scientific poll!

Got mine a week or so ago. Slight soreness, very tired the next day. No other problems. The soreness was minimal; it was worse with my seasonal shot, which ended up trying to abscess on me. I think that was more due to poor technique though.

Got my H1N1, Seasonal Flu and Tdap all within a week of each other several weeks ago. No problemos! No weakness, no soreness, no fatigue.

IM vaccine - sore injection spot (but better than the seasonal flu vaccine), slightly tired the next day. Nothing that should discourage somebody from getting it.

Received it last thursday. I took it nasally. Very quick - in and out in less than 10 minutes. No side effects whatsoever, unless you count it gave a bad taste in the back of my mouth for the next hour or so.

No side effects at all, and I usually get that achy-all-over thing with any vaccine. This one, the actual injection didn't even hurt.

I got the nasal spray about a month ago. I felt a bit under the weather for a few days. Achy and a bit dizzy.

Received it Wednesday-12/30. No side effects other than a slightly sore arm. Had to get the shot, because I'm asthmatic.

I had the intra-nasal flu-mist months ago. No side effects.

I had a seasonal flu vaccine too & got an ENORMOUS, painful hemotoma from that.
