I’m 6 months pregnant and just had the flu jab yesterday and started having the cough and woke up this morning with a scratchy throat and heads been aching and I’m feeling a little rough 😷🤒🤕

Headache, fever and feeling generally unwell can be side effects of the jab and should pass in a day or two. It could also be unrelated - there are loads of illnesses going around and you could have picked one up over the last week before you even had the jab. Hope you feel better soon!

Yes me I was like this for a few days x

I’ve heard a lot of pregnant women getting sick after having the flu jab and it’s making me not want to get it 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I’ve already been very Ill not too long ago I don’t wanna be Ill again

it’s so much better than actually having the flu though!

I haven’t got the flu vaccine in over 15 years. Never gotten the flu . Read what’s in that vaccine and you probably will regret getting it. I’m good on my body and my baby having those toxins!

Yes I felt rough for a good week+ after my jab however it’s better to feel shitty before baby arrives than to catch it with a newborn in my personal opinion. Also people saying about it having toxins in clearly have never really learnt any biology because the flu jab is just a denatured piece of dna coding for the years common flu which just encourages your body to create the correct antibodies to fight it off which is why you can fall ill because yes you are voluntarily infecting yourself in a controlled manor

Iv ended up with a chest infection and a cold, also no energy after it, I had amoxicillin didn’t work so been back today they’ve had to put me on stronger antibiotics to see if they can get me better xxx

Yes but my toddler also had a cold from a play date so I couldn’t tell if it was the flu shot or catching it from her. I will say it was short lived though. Hope you feel better soon. 🤗

No, it's the one vaccine that doesn't give me any side effects.
