Can Flu Vaccine Cause Headaches And Fatigue?
I am a healthy (aside from having rhematoid arthritis) and energetic 52 year old female. I had a flu vaccine on Oct.1. I developed headache (lasted less than 24 hours) and tired feeling about 3 hours later and all I want to do is sleep. I slept 20 hours on 10/2 and 18 hours on 10/3. I still just want to sleep. Have other people experienced this?
