A member asked:
How soon do people get the side effects of any kind after getting a flu vaccine? a day, a week or a month later?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Within a few days: The initial discomfort is immediate.Some have localized muscle pain at the site for a day or so. Some have a body response to the vaccine with generalized aches, all within the first 3 days. Anything after that is likely something else.
