Side Effects Of The Flu Vaccine
An annual flu vaccine is regularly recommended. Side effects from the flu shot can and do occur, even though they are considered rare cases. These reactions and flu shot side effects can include local flu shot reactions, such as soreness, pain and swelling where the flu shot was given, but which are usually mild and last for less than two days. They can also include systemic flu shot reactions, which can begin days or weeks after the vaccination.
The most common side effects of the flu vaccine include:
- Pain and stiffness in the area where the shot was administered
- Localized redness around the injection area
- Muscle and body aches
- Headaches
- An overall feeling as if you are getting sick
The flu shot can also lead to severe reactions. More serious flu shot side effects can include reactions such as seizures, paralysis and peripheral nerve damage called Guillain Barre Syndrome, or GBS.
