We are using Fluzone and have not seen anything unusual in terms of reactions and have given more than 2500 so far. In fact, I would say, at the risk of jinxing myself, it’s been a mild year in terms of reported
side effects beyond a bit of a soreness.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Localized Reactions to Flu Vaccine
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.
