The Flu Jab.

The Flu Jab.

Good afternoon everyone. I went along along for my yearly Flu Jab yesterday morning early doors and had mine done. I had a fairly busy day so when my jab was complete I put it to the back of my mind. As yesterday went on I felt a little more tired that usual so I went to bed a little earlier. I woke up at my usual time of 6.00 am this morning and felt a little achay in my legs and back and still very sleepy. I deceided to rest a little more thinking I would raise at 7.30am or something and to my astonishment it was 11.30am! I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced an unusual effects or tiredness since having their recent Flu Jab.

Kind regards as always

Joseph

We’re having flu and covid jabs next Sunday so hoping we’ll be ok. Take care Joseph. Xxx

I haven't had any problems Joseph but I'm sure that the extra rest has done you good and is nothing to worry about.

I had both my flu & covid jabs on same day.arms both been bit sore but OK apart frm that

[elanaoali]

Me too had both covid and flu yesterday. The arm where I had the covid ached more than the flu jab. Ache nearly all gone. Feel a bit tired but that's how I have normally felt before having the same jabs.

I had my flu jab a couple of weeks back and felt tired the day after but soon got better!

I had my flu jab and covid jab on Wednesday and got really tired about 24hrs later. Lied down to read a bit but I kept falling asleep which is really not like me! The tiredness lasted an afternoon/evening then I was fine. But the arm where I got the flu jab was sore for another 2 days.

Hi I had my flu jab last Thursday. For 3 days I was falling asleep all the time. I felt faint and dizzy. Woke up this morning feeling a lot better. Just muscle pain. I never get like this with flu jab. Must be a strong dose. Keep well.

Yes, I had mine Saturday & slept most of the afternoon. Still felt very tired Sunday! I had flu & covid jabs.

I had the flu jab and covid jab one in each arm. Thought it was ok arms got usually pains, then was really ill for one week. Personally I think it's too much to have both done at same time.

The flu jab floored me for 24 hours, but I have both ME and bronchiectasis and an 74

Got my double vax this pm. Usually my immune system is so poor that I don’t feel anything for 5 days, then the tiredness hits. Hope it’s OK tomorrow as I have to drive over to the in-laws to collect the wife!

[BrigidsFire]

Yes, that’s a common reaction to both the flu and covid jabs. Nothing to worry about 🙂

My wife and I had ours a week ago. My arm was stiff for a day or so but my wife felt nothing. She always has her jabs in her left arm but I always opt for my right so don’t know if it makes a difference. She is the same with most jabs - no side effects. Covid boosters arranged for end of this week. Neither of us wanted both at same time.

I've been okay, had mine Saturday afternoon. I always come home and rest for a few hours after any jab, the one time I didn't I was really poorly, so I'm a bit paranoid now😂

[watergazer]

Not had this years flu jab yet but i vaguely remember feeling like you last year. Got it a week tomorrow. Had my covid jab on Saturday. Felt a little tired after. Went a bit warm. Sunday my arm and area around my shoulder blade were aching. Feeling fine today. Xx

[Kristicats]

Had mine. All ok. Shouldn’t be side effects really as it’s not a live vaccine and takes 2 weeks to become active.
