The last FLU shot I received (51 years ago) caused me to get very ill for about five days (if I remember correctly). I did not wish to feel like that again, so I have not received another FLU shot since. I have never had the FLU, so I guess I am either real lucky or I have some immunity to it. Not a medical professional but my personal physician does not seem to be concerned about my abstaining for getting the yearly FLU shot.
Sorry, I meant to add that a cold compress seems to help family members that have a reaction such as yours.
