What are the risks and how might I feel after my shot?
The vaccine, like any medication, is capable of causing side effects, which can be either mild or, occasionally, severe. The risk of the vaccine causing serious harm is extremely small. Most people who get the vaccine have either no side effects or mild side effects. A Ministry of Health "Influenza Vaccine Fact Sheet" is available on the websites listed below.
