this time and no other side effects. Hows that compare with other DU folks?

(17,636 posts)...got the flu vax 2 weeks later in same arm and had sore arm then too...for exactly 2 days.
No soreness with #1 or #2
nothing i couldnt handle with a bit of Tylenol taken after the shot and better than the alternative for sure...

(2,220 posts)as I did with the first shot (achy, fever between 99-100, fatigue). The difference was the second day, my arm was incredibly sore, much worse than the first two. But, I also had my flu shot, so that could be the reason. I had them on Monday morning, and by Wednesday morning, all symptoms were gone. The second shot kicked my ass for several weeks, so Im counting this as a big positive.

(253 posts)Definitely had a stronger reaction to the booster than with my previous shots. Tired, achey yuk for about a day and a half. Worth it!

And, of course, forgot my treasured vax card. Pharmacist said no problem. She printed new stickers in 2 min & made a new card.

(7,754 posts)other two but this one was a real killer. Still having to take ibuprofen for it. Hope that means it's working.
