swine flu vaccine

Has anyone had this jab yet and if so did you have any side effects? TIA

my OH didn't get any side effects

My OH had his last Thursday, all he felt was a little light headed. That didn't last too long.

Same here. My wife had three jabs, two in one arm, one in the other and they were tender for a couple of days but have returned to normal now.

She now has a runny nose and a sore throat - so it just works on flu then, not the more deadly Common Cold!

Thanks for your replies. I am due to have mine at the end of the month so I'm quite pleased with the replies.

Four of us in the family have had the jab. My arm was fine, the other 3 had some soreness for a couple of days. No other problems.

No probs at all with the swine flu one but had a sore arm with the regular flu jab - now't too bad though. Hope you get on ok .

I have to have mine on Saturday so was interested in all your posts.

The evening of the day I had mine I had very bad unexpected diarhia. I suffer from IBS and read on the paper the doc gave me after the jab that it contains Antigen which is propagated in eggs. My IBS is agrivated by egg white, I wish I was told before I had the jab then I could have been prepared. Other than a red, slightly tender lump on the injection site that was the only side effect I had.

Had mine on Saturday. Slightly bruised feeling on my arm. Have felt a bit under the weather, but that could be anything. I had the ordinary flu jab a week previous to the swine flu one. Mr LL has a tender arm and keeps complaining, but then he's a man!!!

I had mine last Saturday and was fine until I woke up Sunday morning....couldnt lift my arm and felt sickly until yesterday...I had the ordinary flu jab a couple of months ago with no side effects at all....but I suppose a little sickly feeling is better than getting the actual flu!

I had mine 2 weeks ago. After talking to people at work who also had it I found that it seems to effect everyone differently. I just felt tired for a day or so but other people had an upset stomach or a sore arm. No-one I know had any serious side effect.

Had mine on Monday. Very sore arm with swollen red mark. Still sore today!!
