Facts About Flu Vaccinations:

• Influenza vaccine can never give you the flu because it does NOT contain a live strain of the virus.
• The influenza vaccine is generally well tolerated, however staff are asked to stay close by for 15 minutes after their injection to ensure no reaction sets in
• As with all medicines, the vaccine may cause some side-effects. These are usually very minor and dissipate quite quickly
• Some patients report redness or discomfort at injection site but this will disappear within a few days.
• A few patients will develop a mild fever and muscle pains or feel generally unwell, for one or two days after the injection. The flu-like symptoms don’t mean they have the flu, it is simply their body’s natural response to the vaccine.
