For Influenza Prophylaxis "I’m 61 and had Flucelvax for the first time on 10/7. I had only mild symptoms until 48 hours later. Then extreme fatigue, fever, body aches, nasal congestion, headache, very sore injection site with swelling/redness. This threw me for a total loop because all of my previous flu vaccine reactions have occurred the day of my shot. I was up sweating all night with a 102 fever and still feel weak today. I"

For Influenza Prophylaxis "Received a shot of Flucelvax on Feb 18 2022. About 24 hrs. later, I began to feel nauseous and tired. I was sort of up and down. It was exactly like having the flu. It lasted for six or 7 days. I am 74, I stopped all medications to verify that my illness was caused by the flu shot."

For Influenza Prophylaxis "Received the egg-free shot on Friday, 10.16.20, at 6 PM. Due to the pandemic, I have been quarantined and work from home, so no chance of these symptoms being anything but vaccine-related. I haven’t had the flu since I was 6 years old, so this is the first time getting the shot. By 12 AM, I had the sweats, by 3 AM, I was in pain and nauseous, by 6 AM, I was vomiting. Spent all day Saturday and Sunday in agony. My stomach is a mess, with head and body pains. I was able to eat bread Sunday evening, and Monday felt even worse with no appetite again. It’s now Tuesday at 3 AM, and still no relief (currently sitting here in pain, nauseous, with chills and shaking). OTC meds don’t help. I’m generally a healthy 45 years old, exercise and walk 3-5 miles a day... I can barely walk to the bathroom. Pharmacist and MD are monitoring me. I will never get this vaccine again. I can’t believe this vaccine is considered safe."
