They are relatively rarely reported, but they do happen, and I’d “give you dollars to donuts” that my symptoms were brought on by the vaccine. i.e. they were classic “flu-like symptoms.”
However, as I’ve said, that did not stop me from getting a flu vaccine last Winter.
Just don’t pretend that adverse reactions never happen. They do. That’s why the CDC gives out information sheets along with the vaccines.
Actually, I generally expect minor symptoms following a vaccination, and consider them to be a sign that it is doing its job. I think it’s a fair trade (a few symptoms now, instead of being sick for a week to 10 days later.) I suspect that more people have minor symptoms in reaction to vaccines than report them.
That was the only time I’ve ever had a live flu vaccine, and the only time I’ve had such a strong reaction.
