I am anxious about getting a flu shot. will it hurt and what are some of the side effects?

Get your shot: There are few things in medicine that have helped more people than vaccines. The pain is brief and usually only soreness for a day or two afterward. Some get mild flu-like symptoms, but not nearly as bad as getting sick.
