I had Moderna on Saturday now I hear about this black triangle.Anyone know more?

Moderna is one of the Covid vaccines, not flu.
I had my flu vaccination at about 3pm yesterday, no reaction other than a slightly sore arm

I had 1. Adjuvanted quadrivalent influenza vaccine (surface antigen, inactivated) made by Sequirus.

I had no reaction at all.

Didn't have any reaction to mine. Sore arm only lasted for one day.

A reaction,ill all day Sunday, most of Monday, and early on this afternoon, very cold,shivery and tired. Some nausea Sunday morning. So pleased I didn't have my covid jab at the same time. Infact after this will give it a miss completely.
All normal reactions apparently.!! Never had it this bad though.

Has anyone seen this? I’m a bit concerned as it seems experimental to me.

Based on the search results, some of the influenza vaccines available for the 2024-2025 flu season in the UK do carry a black triangle symbol. Specifically:

The following vaccines are designated as black triangle products for the 2024-2025 flu season in the UK:

1. Adjuvanted quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (aQIV, made by Seqirus)[1]

2. Quadrivalent cell-cultured inactivated influenza vaccine (QIVc made by Seqirus)[1]

3. Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine – High Dose (QIV-HD, made by Sanofi)[3][5]

The black triangle symbol (▼) indicates that these are newer drugs and vaccines for which the Commission on Human Medicines and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency encourage the reporting of all suspected reactions[1].

It's important to note that not all flu vaccines for the 2024-2025 season carry the black triangle symbol. The presence of this symbol on certain vaccines is part of the ongoing safety monitoring process for newer medical products in the UK.
