The flu shot always makes me achy for a couple of days - both where the shot was given and some generalized aching. The generalized aching is caused by the body mounting a 'defense' the vaccine contents. Some years I also get a low grade fever the day after the shot.

I never like the way I feel afterward the shot but I have had the flu a couple of times and the shot sure beats the actual flu .
