I just had my first flu shot yesterday. Normal dose. They kept me around to see how I would react. About 5 minutes after the dose I got a total body sweat, had a hard time breathing and swallowing. The pharmacist let me take off my mask, lie down and had an epipen ready. I'm not sure why this happened, but it went away after a few minutes. Arm pain and tiredness for a few hours, then all good.
