This shot has left my arm a bit sore with a deep red area about 3" in diameter. This is the type of arm redness I had from my first two Moderna shots.

Anyone have a reaction like this at their site of injection of the Flu shot?
Most common reaction to the shot. The content changes every year depending on what is predicted to be the flu strains of the coming season. Your reaction may be different every year.
