Flu jab it is painful this year but why????????

had my flu jab today as im asthmatic and now my arm is killing me 😢 the doctor was great did a review on my asthma and gave me extra meds as it tends to play up aloy she says it not stable, has anyone else had it so pain i cn hardly use my arm for the pain? im sure last year it was just lil sore, 🙁

mins didnt hurt this year (I dont remember it ever hurting)

Im sure they pain will be short lived and your arm will be fine

I'm thinking of having the flu jab too as I'm also asthmatic. I've never bothered before but this year I've had 2 chest infections and I want to ensure I keep healthy for feeding Sophie.

Has the pain in your arm gone away a bit? I wonder if they injected a bit deep?

not so bad today i would go and get one i dont suffer half as bad now and i dont get chest infections so servere now 😀

I had mine yesterday and it hurt so much -my arm is now a huge lump and really sore to touch or move -waaaah 😢 😢 😢 😢

I popped to my doctors surgery to drop Sophie's registration form off and saw they had signs about the flu jab. Apparently I can't have it as I'm breast feeding 🙁 I'd have thought it would be almost essential not to get flu at that point in your life but obviously the jab is a no go for pregnant/breast feeding ladies 🙁 Looks like I'll have to keep my fingers crossed this winter - although I tend not to get flu, more bad colds and chest infections (which isn't exactly good).

i had mine this year and im astmatic and i have had no problesm.

I hope the arm isnt hurting now
