I got my flue shot on sat afternoon, when i woke up sun (approx 12hrs later) i had a head cold. by mon i had a good head cold with achiness. tues and today (wed) i still have the head cold, no voice and feel achy all over. maybe it is a coincidence and not the result of the flu shot? i have gotten flu shots every year for decades and have never had a reaction like this.

I'm still sick and wheezing after 3 months after getting the afluria vaccine. My dad got the same one exactly the same day as me (we were together) and he died.

After getting Afluria half hour after my throat got tightened but i did not have any breathing or swallowing problems, no swelling, no hives, no rash. But tight throat feeling was sceary. I was on my way to ER just in case I got stuck in traffic and I took a 0.25 Xanax. Agter 15 minutes my throat choking feeling stabilized , it went awa. I thought may be it was anxiety. 8 days no problem 8th day after I felt like a thumb was pushing my throat for two days. I called my doctor's office and paged him It was a weekend he asked if i have any swelling, breathing problems or swallowing problems I didn't have any so he thought it could have been Reflux and told me to get an antacid. I took Pepcid Complete it went away. Two weeks after the vaccine i started hetting itchy small red bumps like a pimple here and there for the last five days. They come and go. Not a lot few but they spread to different parts of my back and nelly. some dissapeared. total of five today between my back and front. I made and appointment to a Allergist Immunologist after I got a phone call from FDA. Tge pharmacy i got the vaccine must have reported the issue fist day , they called me two days ago and told me that this seems like an allergic reaczion and i should go get tested and shouldn't get any influenza vaccine again! I have been getting flu baccine every year never had any problem. Afluria caused problems for me! Never again! Read More Read Less
