Yes, me too It's been exactly 4 weeks and 5 days since my flu shot in my upper arm and I am aware of soreness still especially at night and when I arise out of bed. My Mom said it was because of the preservative that is mixed with the vaccination. It is the same preservative used for tetanus shots and my Dad had a horrible reaction with both shots. A few years ago he was partially paralyzed and required a cortisone shot to counteract effects. While I am glad not to get the flu this Christmas, I wonder if this annoying discomfort is worth it and when will it go away?
