I have ben having the same arm pain for several weeks following my annual flu shot. I don't believe there is any problem with the vaccination itself, I think we got someone improperly injecting us. If it were the vaccine itself, there would be MAJOR reports of this issue. This small number is indicative that it's bad "form," where we got the shot, how deep, where in the muscle. Unfortunately, not every health care provider is going to get it just right. But it seems we got it just wrong. I'm looking for the FluMist next year. I also have no egg allergies or other symptoms, just muscle soreness and weakness in the exact spot where the injection was given. Good luck!
