Flu shot question

[Deleted]

I've never had to get one before, I'm going to assume these low-level flu symptoms are nothing serious. Sore throat, achy, tired all of which are resulting in one cranky preggo.

Normal? Should I call the doc? Duckling is fine, she's kicking per normal (which is to say, occasionally).

From what I know it's normal to get a few symptoms after getting the vaccine. If it persists or gets worse I'd maybe call but I would think you're fine!

Normal. I felt like shit after getting my first flu shot. I now take some ibuprofen (this time Tylenol) right before getting it and haven't had any symptoms.

Normal. It's your immune system doing it's job!

Totally normal, and you can't get the flu from the shot. It is just your body creating antibodies. and like PP said, I reacted differently to different years flu shots. but your symptoms sound totally normal to me.
