A member asked:
Do these flu vaccines have bad side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: The injectable flu vaccine given to adults is not a live vaccine, therefore its side effects are usually mild and can include injection site soreness, chills, muscle aches and joint pains which usually only last a day or two.
