I said that for 30 years, it took me eight to figure it out. We never "gave" the flu shot at any pharmacy I ever ran, period! I left CVS not because they were an abusive company, but because they were planning on giving the flu shot. I had one flu shot in my life (1980), and I told my boss my body was like a temple, if you ever "force" me to get the shot again, I'll kill you, full stop.

For 6 and 1/2 hours I was as good as dead, laid on the porch hoping somebody would come by to finish me off. It was that bad.

I wasn't that sick. But like you the only time I can ever remember getting a flu shot was around 2005. My arm was swollen and red from injection sight all the way down. I couldn't even lift my arm. Then I was in bed sick as a dog with a 103 degree fever.
