Re: Cathy,"
You might be allergic to the preservative in that particular shot. Ask for the flu shot without the preservative. Sometimes they claim there's no preservative in the flu shot, but there is. A nurse told me that they have antibiotics as preservatives, and that's what was causing my reaction, the same as you describe. I'm allergic to vancomycin, which was in flu shots I'd get. Since I've been asking for the shots without the preservatives, even though sometimes they tell me I am wrong, I haven't had a reaction.
