I found out the hard way that I was allergic to the flu shot. I later found out I'm allergic to eggs. You can use an ice pack and maybe calamine lotion. An oatmeal bath helps with itching as well. Hugs.

I have not had this, but the pharmacist stated that is why he uses the smallest needle possible so that this doesn't happen. So far I have never had this happen in all the years I have gotten the flu shot. Hope your rash goes away soon. I would call your pharmacist to see what they suggest to do for it. Hugs and prayers. God bless.

Haven't received mine yet, Vic.

Pray your itchy rash eases up soon. Have you tried lotions on it at all?🙏💖

I had it last year never had it with previous flu shots. Took some lyrica and that helped. My nerves were burning as well. Startedgetting acupuncture and micro current.
