    Well yeah, you've got a tradeoff between time, pressure, and gauge.

    For blood, your pressure is constant and fairly low, so to keep the time reasonable, you need a bigger gauge. If you tried to use an injection gauge needle, you'd be there all day rather than 5-10 minutes.

    For an injection, you can use lots more pressure, so for reasonable time, you cause lots less gauge.

    Well yeah. Your immune system is reacting to what it thinks is an infection.

    Part of that reaction makes you want to rest, as would aid in recovery if you actually had the flu.

    Oh and a few responses was ''I hate needles end of story''

    my mom gets the flu shot every year because of her work and nearly every year she gets ill from it, hell my grandad (not my actual grandad but i've always called him that) get really sick from the flu shot a few years back and now refuses to get it. He has yet to get the flu since.

    Luckily, that's being worked on! There's a couple potential systems for producing them going forward. We'll see. I saw a presentation the other day about possibly producing them in an insect cell vector, which has a couple other advantages as well.

    One being that I'm lazy and it's hard for me to go out of my way for the day to get a flu shot.

    The other is that I never get sick. Literally, the only time I have been sick in the last decade was from food poisoning.


    Come to think of it.... I don't think I've ever had the flu.

    Does it really exist? Seems like a myth to me. Teasing.

    Had flu shots, given blood.

    course that was nothing compared to the long metal rods shoved in my foot for foot surgery.

    never had a problem myself I get the shot and I don't think Ive ever gotten the flu after taking the shot. I'll never see the big deal people have with flu shots it seems to be one of those things that everyone has a conspiracy about.
    The world was just as bad when you were young as it is today. You only see it now because of your age.

    I don't like needles, but I get a flu shot every year.

    Hadn't gotten one in forever. Never seemed necessary.

    I was actually genuinely curious about this because I always hear people hype up this flu every year, but not once have I gotten it. Last time I had a flu shot was when I was like 17.

    I guess some people are either immune or never get sick from the flu. Half the people they tested don't get sick at all.

    I guess I'll keep truckin along and giggle at the flu.
