Flu jab done and dusted! Got there late as J's dad thought it was later and by half 9 still hadn't collected me! My appointment was at quarter to 10... Still, it's done now.

Flu jab done and dusted! Got there late as J's dad thought it was later and by half 9 still hadn't collected me! My appointment was at quarter to 10... Still, it's done now.
Good had mine a few weeks ago.
How is your arm?
It's sore but I was expecting it to be.
I thought the flu jab this year was really painful!
Me too. I had a sore arm after mine.
My arm is still really painful, even J or the kids catching it really lightly hurts.
Has it swollen or gone red? I was advised to see a doctor if it happens again.
A little. I've always been told it's normal!
When I had my flu jab this year it was red, swollen, hot and painful like yours, then after about 5-6 days it was so itchy I felt like scratching it with nails! I think that the vaccines have a slightly different ingredient every year as last year I was fine. Ian on the other hand just has a slight pin hole no matter what vaccine he has. I think some of us react differently to foreign substances...or maybe the nurse who's delivering it is a bit more sadistic!
