[MCOH-EH] Localized Reactions to Flu Vaccine

[Yvonne Noel]

We have administered several thousand GSK quadrivalent doses.  A few mild  localized reactions of  redness, slight swelling, with heat were reported.  We have had no

 reports of itching at the site.

Hello
We have administered approximately 1000 vaccines thus far. We have not seen anything unusual thus far. We use both GSK and Sanofi.

I'm wondering if others are seeing an increase in localized reactions on employees from this year's flu vaccine.  We are seeing an increase especially in itching and swelling at the injection site.
Thanks.
