Symptom narrative

Adverse reaction to flu shot. Fluzone High-Dose 0.5 ML INJ, NDC 49281-0125-65. Administered 09/07/2025 at Pharmacy. Less than 24 hours later, I was lethargic with extreme dizziness and light-headedness. I fell once and injured myself. I am bruised but have not required medical treatment. Because of the dizziness I am absolutely unable to drive. I also developed a headache and diarrhea. I am currently resting and drinking water to avoid dehydration. I have never had an adverse reaction to an injection of any kind. I regularly get a flu shot every year and remain current on all vaccines appropriate to my age (74) and overall health (very good.) I have had seasonal tree allergies in the past but no longer, following allergies shot about 10 years ago.
