Influenza Vaccine
Side Effects of Influenza Vaccine
Occasionally, the injection site becomes sore. Fever and muscle aches occur occasionally. Whether the influenza vaccine increases the risk of developing Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) , a progressive nerve disorder, is unclear. However, if this rare syndrome develops within 6 months after influenza vaccination, people should talk to their doctor about whether future vaccinations are advisable. The live-virus nasal spray vaccine sometimes causes a runny nose, sore throat, and mild wheezing.
