"The shot was much more painful than the regular intramuscular flu shot, it felt like a bee sting! However, I did experience less soreness afterward."

"The $5 extra for this shot was well spent. The injection was virtually painless, and my arm was not as sore as it usually is after a flu shot. I will definitely get this again next year!"

"Barely felt the pinch. Just a little redness, bump around the injection, and itchiness for a few days. Not sore at all compared to regular shots."

"Received this last week and felt a slight pinch. I never received the flu vaccine in the past, so I have nothing to compare it to. Not sure what side effects to expect, I was very tired later that evening. Did experience some slight cold symptoms, which I'm guessing is a side effect. There was no pain at all at the injection site, but a few days later it was a little red and itchy."
