Huh, I thought it was a smaller needle! Less painful than flu for me at the time, I barely felt it. Yeah it's weird, I'm glad the massage helped a bit, I'll probably go back in a few weeks if it's still bothering me.
Similar other side effects to you but I wouldn't say they were significant/bad. I didn't feel awful.
(Btw there's a vaccine chat thread we could take this)
Ahhh. Last couple of flu shots I got were tiny little pricks by comparison - and no side effects to speak of.
Years ago when I was getting the flu jab (asthma) I used to feel shitty for days, so stopped bothering with it for years. The AZ jab was basically the same thing, but more short lived.
My partner said the last flu jab from 2020 wasn't too bad, other times he feels off 1-2 days. Weird one, but perhaps worth taking it again? He gets it due to asthma as well.
