"Have never had an adverse reaction to the 'flu injection' in over 10 years. However, the FluLaval injection caused me to experience extreme (and very sudden) weakness. My arms and legs felt like they weighed 100 lbs. each. Had to sit down with my head on my arms for about 30 minutes, after which, with help, I made it to my bed, where I lay feeling very weak for 2 or 3 hours and finally fell asleep. Felt much better in the morning - though a bit weak for about an hour or so. Will not be taking the FluLaval injection again."

"When I received the FluLaval vaccine on 09/28/17, I had an allergic reaction, my left eye was itching and watering. I woke up with swelling in my throat and beneath my tongue. I was rushed to the E.R. where I was given prednisone, Pepcid, and Benadryl through I.V. and was monitored overnight until the reaction was reversed. I will never get a FluLaval vaccination ever again! I'm definitely allergic."

"I’ve had this brand of flu vaccine for 2 years and have never had a reaction or major side effect. Fluzone, on the other hand, caused me to have chest tightness, panic attack-like feeling for 1 min. I took this brand the year after that reaction with Fluzone and had no ill effects. Mind you, that reaction to Fluzone was after the 15 min post-vaccine wait and self-resolved after 1 min, so unsure if that was a panic attack or vaccine reaction. The following year, the nurses switched to this brand of vaccine and they didn’t think the reaction to Fluzone was a legit full-blown systemic reaction, so they allowed me to have Flulaval with extra post-vaccine monitoring and I never had shortness of breath after this vaccine, go figure. I am from Canada and with this publicly funded flu vaccine, unfortunately, there isn’t much say as to which immunization places carry it and each place carries a different brand, so I will just have to ask around."
