10 Side Effects of Flu Shots
Flu Shots Side Effect #3: Sore Injection Site
Many people are terrified of needles, while many more of us find them bearable even if we are not entirely comfortable with them. While the fear of needles is largely irrational, though, that is not to say that there is nothing to be concerned about at all. Some people can actually have some quite uncomfortable reactions to being injected with a needle.
One side effect of a flu shot can be soreness around the point the shot was administered. In addition to being sore, it can also become red, swollen and might feel warm to the touch. Although uncomfortable, these side-effects are not dangerous and should pass harmlessly within a couple of days or so.
