As personal anecdote, I get flu shot from Costco every year but this year was the first time I got nasal FluMist because they ran out of the needle version. This was also the only time I've gotten sick from it. Immediate runny nose and headache even before I left the store.
- javagram 6y agoInteresting. I’ve never gotten the FluMist. Those side effects are apparently listed as normal, though it’s interesting to learn they can come on that quickly! I would have thought the immune system would take some hours to respond.
