I just got my Fluarix Quadrivalent vaccine today and I'm curious to hear from others who have also received it. The Fluarix Quadrivalent vaccine protects against four different types of influenza viruses, which is great, but I heard people can get different reactions to it. I got a quick headache and some muscle pain which was expected, but I've heard stories of more serious side effects. Anyone else out there experience anything unusual? It's important to get this vaccine every year because the flu viruses change. It's worth noting that the vaccine helps your body make its own antibodies against the flu. What about you all? Any other side effects you'd like to share?

I had a really bad reaction to the flu vaccine last year, so I'm a bit nervous about getting it again. But the flu is even worse, so I guess I'll just have to tough it out. I missed a few days of work last year because I got a bad fever and chills. Next time, I'll hope to get luckier than I did last time.

I got the Fluarix Quadrivalent and it was much better than the last time I got a vaccine. I didn't have any side effects like unusual crying or any other side effects, so I was happy with it. It's always best to get the vaccine, even if you don't feel like it.

I didn't have any side effects at all, so I guess I was lucky! Just a slight discomfort at the injection site. But it's always better to be prepared and get the vaccine even if you don't get any side effects.

I didn't have any side effects from the vaccine itself, but I did feel a bit dizzy afterwards. I had to sit down for a few minutes to make sure I was okay. It was weird because I've never felt that way from a vaccine before. I have arranged a follow up with my doctor to make sure everything is good

I just got the vaccine and my arm is really sore, but that's to be expected right? I'm a bit worried about how sore it is. Anyone else have the same experience?
