I got the one for seniors, as I am 75.
No side affect, except I am very sleepy. Got the shot about 2 hours ago.

(21,676 posts)I can get the senior one next year, I tried getting the senior one last year, but they said No and wouldn't give it to me. I didn't even try this year. I've been isolating enough that I'm not too worried about getting the flu. The constant hand washing and disinfecting helps too. I got my hair cut last week. picked up a magazine, and make sure I sprayed my hands with disinfectant when I put it down. Not that I'm paranoid or anything, but I'm paranoid and take extra precautions.
The only reaction I had to the shot was a sore arm.

(30,715 posts)I had taken a fall and cut myself so the doctor gave me a tetanus shot and one arm and then I was due for my flu shot I got that in the other one. Both arms were sore and it was hard to get comfortable to sleep. But otherwise everythings fine recovered the next day, still hurting from the bruises from my fall. Tripped on the sidewalk got a black eye but its not all that unusual for me. I just got to be more careful now that Im old

(21,676 posts)As I said above, I have been having some problems lately and have fallen several times. I try to have a plan to get back up when I go to the floor, but in a fall, that usually isn't possible.
I had a tetanus shot about a month ago, must be something docs are pushing now.
