I dread headaches and other flu symptoms. I'm frustrated with myself for being on edge about it! Oh, well...a good opportunity to practice breathing and other calming techniques.

My aunt was the only one I knew who had slight issues with the second shot. She was very tired and had a slight fever.

I am very sick in bed for 2 days after just getting a flu shot. So I am also worried about side effects. I’m really hoping to get the J&J one. It’s like when my mom made me get all 4 of my wisdom teeth out at one time even though only 2 needed to come out. She said I would never want to get the others out after the first time. And she was right. So I feel like the J&J one dose is similar.
