- Good morning Mr Henderson.
- Dr Ray has recommended that you get a flu immunisation shot before you're discharged.
- I've got the injection ready to give you.
- Are you allergic to anything?
- I'm only allergic to latex and penicillin.
- I don't know if I want the flu shot.
- The last time I got the shot I got sick.
- I'm sorry that happened to you.
- What kind of symptoms did you have after that last flu shot?
- I got a runny nose and a headache and my arm felt like someone punched me.
- Sometimes the flu shot can cause reactions like a sore injection site and headache.
- Other common symptoms include being tired, muscle and joint aches, shivering and fever.
- All of these symptoms can be seen with the flu, but the shot can't give you the flu.
