Hello,
Yes, these are some side effects which are experienced by some people after flu vaccination.
But the intensity of these symptoms decreases over 4 or 5 days. A person needs only rest and multivitamin. For fever or body pains , paracetamol may be taken.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
