Good morning, I’ve just received a gp letter inviting me for a pneumonia and shingles vaccine . I’ll probably take it up - but just so I’m prepared…have any of you had any side effects after the vaccine? It’s just that the last time I had a flue vaccine - I may as well have had flue! I was ill in bed for 2-3 days 😩 . I know we’re all different in our responses to vaccines -I’m just trying to get a picture of what to expect . Thanks x
