Members shared mixed experiences about getting the flu shot and whether it triggered a flare or other reactions. Several members described mild side effects like a sore arm or feeling slightly unwell for a day or two, while others said they stopped getting flu shots after repeatedly feeling sick afterward. A helpful tip shared was taking Tylenol beforehand to help reduce vaccine reactions, and one member noted that getting vaccines on separate days rather than all at once may help reduce discomfort.
