    Yes. I had a really bad reaction. I had never had any reaction to a flu shot before. This year, I began having terrible muscle aches within 24 hours of the injection. The pain lasted a full SEVEN WEEKS and was miserable. It interfered with my life, big time. I had to walk with a cane. I am finally better.

    I had it a couple of months back. I did not have any side effects from the shot itself. But I did have the flu last week :S

    If someone has a bad reaction to flu shot that means the flu shot is not good..Always get the lot number of the flu shot and whatever company is giving it out..write the number down, you will save lives like that.

    Nope. Not at all. I also had the pneumonia shot and did not have a reaction to that either.
