flu injection?

Hi, I know the swine flu is sweeping our country (especially Vic).
I am wondering if anyone has had the flu injection this year & did they react to it? A lot of people at work (without ms) have reacted badly to it.
I have the flu vaccine in the fridge & only have to go to the dr to have it.

Just wanting some feedback.

I am not having the flu vax. There were some posts on DS last year about the flu vax - I will try to locate them and post a link. Jill

I am probably one person that should have the flu vaccination, I have never had one. I do not get colds or the flu, I have enough injections a week do not want anymore. My husband had a flu injection a few years ago and ended up with flu he will not do it again and there is nothing wrong with him.

I did have the flu injection after discussions with both my gp & neuro. Had sniffles next day & feel like I am getting the flu but take lemsip capsules etc & have been good without bronchitis or flu for first year in many, fingers crossed it will stay that way.
