I received the IM injection. No pain at the site at all, in fact i thought that maybe they didn't get it into the muscle--but other students told me that they didn't experience any pain either. Like 0 pain in the days following.

I worked with the county health department screening for the H1N1 vaccine. The standing orders stated was that children under 9 receiving the nasal spray were to return in 21 days for a second dose so we were getting many kids for their second inoculation. Of the kids returning, none of the parents stated any kind of problems with the first dose while i was working.

I received the vaccine yesterday, December 15. This was the first day it was available to the general population in my county. I had a slight soreness for half a day at the injection site (right deltoid). No other symptoms.

On the other hand, a 25 year old man in my county died from H1N1 complications within the past week. He probably never had the opportunity to receive the vaccine.
