seasonal flu vaccine- side effect?

i had the seasonal flu vaccine a few hours ago, and have now developed a really intense headache. iv googled side effects of the vaccine but it doesnt seem to say headache is one of them because it says its a dead vaccine. because the pains so bad im wondering if its some sort of reaction to it. anyone know anything about it?

I had both the nasal H1N1 and the needle seasonal flu vaccine today at the same time,
I did not have any side effects but after 8 hours my right feet , my heal started hurting but not that bad. It is not tingling , just a kind of on and of mild pain.  But I had walked about 2 hours today . Should I be concerned , can it be a nerve damage or is this a coincidence? What should I do? I do have panic disorder too. I started getting worrid. Can I take a Xanax so I won';t worry all night?  It's been 12 hours so far. Please help,

It could be coincidence. The seasonal flu vaccine doesn't have a live virus but some people get slight pain and swelling at the injection site.

Best wishes
