Subject: RE: BS: Flu Shot Yesterday, Flu Today?
I only had a week long tennis ball sized painful knot on my arm (injection site) this time. Felt a bit headachey and shivery the day after but not bad.

Nurse said there was a bit of swine flu strain in it too.

If you are really sick this quickly, I suspect that you had already been exposed to and were incubating flu prior to injection. That happened to me a few years ago.
