Symptom narrative

I received the Fluzone HD 65+ yesterday from Pharmacy. Within one to two minutes while driving, I experienced the sudden and severe onset of almost disabling back pain to the point where I had to pull over to the side of the road and I thought for a few minutes about calling an ambulance. I waited for about 15 minutes and it slowly started to resolve. About one and a half hours later, I developed shaking chills, with teeth rattling, low-grade temperature and generalized body aches. Advil got me through the next 18 hours. Today, the following day, I feel beat up but generally OK. I wonder if the back pain has been reported as an acute side-effect, within 1 to 2 minutes! I'm not an anti-vaxxer. I was just concerned. o returned physician. Thank you. I did not seek medical help.
