I had such discomfort that I said that I would not get the shot next year. Chicken, I guess. My arm was really, really sore. I had a hard time getting to sleep for three nights!

I am so glad to find someone else that had a strange reaction too. The nurse who gave the shot said this years vaccine was developed for a
very bad flu prevalent in Australia this Summer. (their Winter season)

It must have been one heck of a strain of flu.
