Were you tensed up when you got the shot? If I focus on relaxing my arm, I don't feel the needle going in and have no after-shot soreness.
Well, I am pretty sure that is the shot that made me sick too! I had a fever all afternoon/evening yesterday and felt generally icky; much better this morning fortunately. The info sheet did say that kind of reaction is pretty common (up to 25% of people who get the shot have "mild problems" like soreness, low-grade fever and/or aches). As for being tensed up when I got the shot, I don't think so. Actually, today the arm with the Hep A shot hurts more than the yellow fever one!
