flu vaccines
my friend just got a flu & pnuemonia shot & is experiencing pain at the injection site. Is there any way to lessen this? Hot water bag or ice............I don't know what is recommended
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
no, the flu shot is influenza immunization (preventing viral infection)
the pneumonia shot is pneumococcal pneumonia immunization (preventing bacterial infection)
the pneumonia shot is pneumococcal pneumonia immunization (preventing bacterial infection)

it can be sore for a few days. alternating heat & ice, 20 min each time, is helpful
