| FLU3 | INFLUENZA (SEASONAL) (FLUZONE HIGH-DOSE) | SANOFI PASTEUR | UNK | — | SYR / LA |
Two hours after receiving the flu vaccine on Sept. 30., I noticed a tenderness on either side of my neck that grew worse. Then, I began to experience pain that started in my left shoulder and traveled to the back of my neck, about my left eye and temple. This pain worsened and became sharp stabbing pains from September 30 and continuing to October 9. Advil provided some relief but had to be discontinued after three days due to its negative effect on my stomach. I saw Dr on October 9 and she prescribed a 6 day treatment of Methylprednisolone which greatly reduced the severity of the pain within one day. (Of note: an elderly friend who received the same vaccine yesterday is experiencing a similar reaction.)
