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

[CrunchRN]

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!

received im vaccine yesterday pm, no side affects at all, not even a sore arm. both teen daughters received nasal mist 2 weeks ago, oldest one got nauseated that pm but ate from football concession stand prior to nausea, and all kids who ate same item got ill, so there you go. other teen no issues and she is quick to complain about everything.

anecdotally, to looks as if soreness at injection site is related more to who is delivering the injection? my seasonal flu shot given by rn who took a 3 foot running start (really drew back the full length of her arm!) and i was sore for days not to mention bad bruise, others had from same lot by another nurse who injected correctly and had no issues at all.

just my

Nasal dose - headache and low-grade (99.7) fever for a couple days after. My husband also had it with no side effects whatsoever.

7 year old had 1st dose (nasal) and had a headache and fever that peaked at 101.8 (up and down for a day a half); fine now.

[SoonerGirl]

Took the live vaccine (nasal spray) a few weeks ago. No side effects whatsoever.

[tiffanyleigh0212]

Had mine last week. Shortly after my arm felt real heavy and tingly, but went away after an hour or so, and then just sore at the injection site for about a day. Glad I got it.

maybe just a coincidence, employee health is doing some investigating, but myself and another person at work have come up with shingles a couple of weeks after receiving h1n1 vaccine (IM). anyone else heard of this? like i said, maybe just purely coincidence. i tried a google search, but came up with nothing.
