Ugh! This was NO fun!!!

Our IF nurse brought a vial of flu vax to the ER for our staff today. A coworker and I injected each other, and within minutes both of us had reactions....she got a rash around the site and I was lightheaded, flushed, and nauseous. And both of us had weird aches in our arms, different from the "I just got a shot" ache. The boss pulled the vial and is going to turn it back into IF tomorrow, but for now that's all that's to be done. I ended up signing in for the documentation.

Years and years ago I took the flu vax once and got the flu. Never took it again until I got pregnant three years ago and was made to take it. I didn't have a problem then so I took it after that, and now I'm rethinking that one.......

I recieved my flu vax this past Tues. This thread came to mind afterwards because I did feel dizzy afterwards. Plus, a weird feeling in my arm after the shot that lasted for a day or two. Hum.....weird huh?
