"The night of injection, couldn’t sleep. Next day couldn’t move. Felt like I was hit by a truck. Finally got out of bed and sat on couch. So much pain I couldn’t move. Two days later still in so much pain. Can’t lift arm. too weak to walk. The pharmacist warned that I’d feel like I got punched In the arm but it’s much worse. I canceled my plans for entire week because I don’t know when I’ll feel better."

"Never felt bad after a flu vaccine until I received Fluad. Chills, malaise, headache, no energy, dull abdominal cramps and no appetite. I will definitely not get this particular vaccine next year."

"Received fluad jab a month ago. Minor side effects in first 24 hours(thought I had tonsillitis) then frequent lassitude which persists to this day. Worst of all, after exactly a week I had sudden pains in the site of an old hernia op in the groin and these also persist, plus hip pains in bed. My quality of life has taken a real nosedive, I feel like an invalid and no end is in sight. I am an otherwise fit 76 year old male in the UK. In future I will decline a flu jab."
