BEWARE... those who are thinking of getting a flu shot!!

From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Vaccine Side Effects (What to Expect)
Different side effects can be associated with the flu shot and LAIV.


The flu shot: The viruses in the flu shot are killed (inactivated), so you cannot get the flu from a flu shot. Some minor side effects that could occur are:

Soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given
Fever (low grade)
Aches
Runny nose
Headache
Sore throat
Cough


So it's not the flu. The shot still made me sick and I feel like I might as well have the flu. No more shots for me!

I've talked to a few other people that have had the same symptoms from a flu shot. My husband refuses to get them and has never had the flu.
