Very interesting discussion on the side effects and actual effectiveness of the flu vaccine.

Doh!
Got the shot a few weeks ago in the afternoon. No issues with the injection site. I didn't have my normal performance in the following morning's workout -- felt a little lethargic on the bicycle, didn't push as much iron around. But I was fine all day at the office.
The following day was a heavy work day at the family ranch -- no issues.

For many years it was a requirement of the military active and reserve so I got in the habit. No adverse effects ever. I am convinced it has kept me from getting the flu. Plus if you go to Publix for the shot they give you a $10 gift card.

Same here.
Aches exhaustion fatigue for 48 hours. Add in nausea heebie-jeebies fever for 12 hours at the tail end. Pharmacist Dan said it was "something else", as effects do not last more than a day. Okay, Dan.
My wife & I got ours earlier this month. We both noticed a slight headache & feeling not quite 100% for a day.
