10 Side Effects of Flu Shots
Flu Shots Side Effect #7: Rash
A very small percentage will have an allergic reaction to a flu shot. One side effect of this is to cause a rash, which is likely to occur around the point of injection. In addition to a rash, some mild itching may also occur but this will probably pass before long.
In some instances, though, the rash and the itching can be more severe. The itching can be intense and the rash can cover the whole body. If these symptoms do appear to be advanced then it is a sign of a severe reaction and you should get the patient to a hospital immediately. You should always tell your doctor before having a shot if you have experienced a bad reaction in the past.
