    No, it shouldn't hurt, expect soreness the next day. However, I think my shot went into some muscle....It hurt, I tell you!

    The next time you are planning to get a shot in the arm, do not lift weights for a couple of days prior. Also try to relax you muscle as much as possible. This should lessen the discomfort. We tend to tense up when we know a shot is coming. That makes it hurt more.
    You could be sore because of the technique on the part of the nurse who administered the shot. I ran the flu shot clinic at one of the jails I worked in. I also was the clinic RN at a local training facility. I gave the student's their immunizations and Depo-Provera on a regular basis. There is a trick to giving shots in the arm so that they are barely felt.

    Five flushots five years in a row increase the risk of early onset Alzheimer's TENFOLD.

    FLU Vaccine Ingredients depends upon the manufacturer

    * All are made using egg or chicken protein
    * Influenza viruses (most! are inactivated)
    * Neomycin, polymyxin, gentamycin - antibiotics
    * Thimerosal [mercury] - a harmful preservative
    * Betapropiolactone - a disinfectant
    * Nonoxynol - used to kill or stop growth of STDs
    * Octoxinol 9 - a vaginal spermicide
    * Formaldehyde - embalming fluid used to kill viruses
    * Polysorbate 80 - a potential carcinogen
    * Triton X-100 - a detergent

    When it comes to MOST health issues-MOST-Whatever the goverment says is GOOD, I do the OPPOSITE.

    E.g. "Soy is great for you! Very healthy!" Nope! Hormonal screw-ups for starters.

    Remember when one of the ex-Surgeon Generals under Bush came out and said (don't know HOW this made the news) that he was ordered NOT to give the public information regarding their general AND reproductive health (thank you, Fundamentalist Christian monsters)?

    And infants to toddlers;Children becoming autistic from vaccinations?

    Yes. "Experts" have been bought, military, medical and of course denying Global Warming. Everyone has their price.

    Don't mean to turn this into "conspiracy territory"Most of what I've written here is public record.

    Flu shot bad. Save lives & health? Dubious.

    Also possible that from the toxic cocktail which comprises the flu vaccine,
    the alblumen may very well cause allergic reactions in those who just don't know that they're allergic to eggs;Yes, the mainstream medical est. still knocks down food allergists for the most part cus of the cheap, effective and proven cures-treatments.

    I have gotten my flu shot every day for like the last 15 years. I work in Energency Medicine with close contact to lots of people. I also have asthma. Both excellent reasons to get the flu shot.

    My son also gets one every year and has since he was little.

    Its much better for us to get the flu shot than become extremely ill due to the flu affecting our asthma. Nither of us have had the flu since getting the shots

    Thats a bit coo coo. The government controls people's minds by the indoctrination that is called "government skools". The skools force the children who have very impressionable minds to listen, believe, and not question the authority (aka the teachers and principal).

    I do not get the flu shot and I have not had the flu. My medicine involves getting a lot of sleep...works like a charm.
