"Long time-20 year physician assistant I am studying influenza for my PhD which is almost complete. Also have an MPH. Got the flu injection last Monday, and my normal pattern is 5 days in I get that invisible sickness we tell everyone they "can't get" and it's all in their heads. But this time - I have n well enough to go GET a covid test (it was believed I had it in April, I got very ill, lost taste and smell very dramatically (before we knew it was a symptom) but the older test came back negative and they quarantined me for 12 days. This flu shot at 5 days - I am now at 7 days post injection. I cannot sleep, my legs ached beyond anything I have ever felt, and the last 2 days my head is feels like it is popping off - but I know headaches and this one is VERY flu-like. I am miserable and have to report to NYC health, Manhattan for a paid gig helping in the Covid surge this week in the ER and ICU as I have been out of work since laid off due to the damn virus. So I have to will myself better"

"Extreme hair loss. My husband and I had received our annual flu shots this year, on October 13th. We both became ill right away with flu symptoms, still suffering with vomiting and hair loss. My husband has lost most of his hair and my hair since the shot has thinned dramatically."

"I have been very sick for days following this shot. High fever, chills, terrible body pain, heart racing, and some of the worst headaches of my life. I won’t be getting the flu shot again. I was perfectly fine when I went in, four hours after shot I was in terrible pain and not in my arm."
