If you have rec' d the H1N1 vaccine - please report

Published

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!

My two girls rec'vd the shot 3 weeks ago with zero side affects. I am not eligible for it, but will get it as soon as I can. Taking my son to get it Saturday!

I didn't get it due to allergies, but my daughter who is 6 months pregnant received it with no side effects. My son tested positive for h1n1 three weeks ago, so is no longer eligible for the vaccine. My husband took it last week with no side effects save for a sore arm that lasted four days.

Nasal spray, no side effects. With the seasonal flu vaccine I had muscle soreness, but that's it.

I am also hearing that most have complained of arm soreness. I had no intention of getting it unless I was mandated (New York seems to have had a change of mind). Now, I decided that I will because my son wants it. I could not see him getting it, but not myself, so, I plan to get mine Monday and he will come to our flu clinic and get it a few days after.

I wasn't going to get it, but then this past weekend at work, the nurse happened to be there who was giving the shots - so I got it. Just a matter of convenience really. No side effects - it was completely painless - I was super tired the next day, but that may have been from working, not from vaccine. SO..... there ya go, one more opinion.

I had the IM vaccine on monday.

I've just felt tired ever since and have a little rash on my arm, but that's about it.
