itchy flu shot?

[Ruthie]

FINALLY got my flu shot on Wednesday. I know, I am a procrastinator.... My question is, it is the first time I got one of those inter- dermal ones and 4 days later it still itches like crazy. I've never had a flu shot itch before. Anyone else experienced this? There is barely any mark where it was given, but even after anti-itch cream it still does- itch, that is!

You might be having an allergic reaction to it?

The company that comes on site where I work for our flu shots has a waiver that we must sign writing off that we are not pregnant or have any allergies to egg products.

I would contact the place where you received the shot and see if you should have it checked over!

Maybe so, but it is not red or swollen. So I am not sure. I'll call and ask tomorrow. Thanks!
