Just a quick question really concerning my yearly Flu injection which I had this last Monday along with my Pneumonia injection (first time ever both being given together) ever since I have felt so so poorly every joint aching and awful night and day sweats even suffered from sickness from even drinking a cup of tea,receptionist at health centre has told me to see Dr on Monday if no improvement but I'm wondering if I shall go into walk in centre before then,has anyone else has such a bad reaction I wonder.

I have had no reaction whatsoever - maybe it has not worked!

I've had the flu jab for a few years now and felt fine, except the year when 'they' supposedly got it wrong. I got a really bad dose that time and I hadn't had flu for over 35 years. So, although it's said that you can't have a reaction....hmmm! That said, I'll have it this year again, just in case.smile
