Do Flu and Pneumonia Shots bother people with PD

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Hatfield, PA

I got a Flu Shot yesterday. The doctor said that because I'm 65,I had to have a stronger version. This shot was a great deal more painful and about 3 hours after getting it, every joint started aching. I got a sore throat and my eyes started weeping. Didn't sleep much. I feel a little better today as I have no sore throat.....but I feel like I got the flu from the shot!
