Can Flu Vaccine Cause Fever, Stomach Pain And Muscle Pain?
Yes, Thank you. Yesterday I took the flu vaccine which I have only taken twice. I take care of my 94 year old Mother so can not take a chance and get the flu. Years ago i had an egg sensitivity which has subsided over the years and now can eat eggs several times weekly. Right now I feel really bad. Stomach ache, fever, some muscle aches, neck feels stiff etc. Is this a reaction to the vaccine?

Hi
Yes, this is very likely a reaction to the flu vaccine, although not really an allergic reaction
Commonly the reaction to the vaccination are flu-like symptoms
