I experienced some flu like symptoms later before bed time. Some stomach issues and perhaps a slight fever. I had the double barrel over 65 shot.

Normally I haven't experienced symptoms from past flu shots. I have gotten the flu anyway, once, but that was probably 3 months after I had gotten the shot.

I still plan to keep taking my flu shot.
