Flu Jab

Only having flu jab. That’s next week.

Had the flu jab in one arm and the covid one in the other. The flu jab made my arm ache a bit but that was it. I felt neither jabs at the time which was good.

There will always be some side effects for some people.

We had the flu and COVID jabs 2 days before we went on holiday about 2 weeks ago. Four days in DH started to go down with a respiratory infection, which I do not think had anything to do with the jabs. There was quite a chorus of coughs on the tour coach. Two days later I went down with the same infection, but we have both been very unwell with the infection.

On Monday morning,having got home late on Sunday, I had to ring the surgery because DH was so unwell and we actually got a house visit because the doctor agreed DH was too ill to get to the surgery. He was threatened with a hospital admission, but medication managed to avoid this.

As I said, I do nto think there was any link between vaccinations and illness, but I suspect that the very short period bewteen the jabs and developing the infection affected the severity of it.

Adjuvanted Sequirus for flu and Moderna for Covid. No adverse reaction to either.

Had a flu vaccination 12 days ago. I’m 77. Arm didn’t ache at all. On the 3rd day after the jab, began to feel chilly& tired…as though I had a cold brewing.
After about 7days, felt so tired and washed out I spent a day in bed.Also felt very nauseous and had hot flushes. Have never reacted to a flu jab before. (Although I did to last years Covid one).

Happened to mention this to my Gp when I saw her about another problem. Still not feeling 100%. She said at the practice they had recently seen/heard of a lot of people with similar flu-like symptoms after having the flu jab….which should resolve within 14days.
So….Here’s hoping!

Thank you for posting Nannatwiglet. It’s 2 weeks ago today since I had my flu jab and I’m still suffering.
Hopefully it’ll be gone soon.
