Getting an annual flu shot is a simple procedure, but small choices before and after can make a big difference in how you feel afterward. Medical experts and nutrition specialists shared some recommendations to make your appointment as smooth and comfortable as possible. “Clothing that allows you to have easy access to this area is the best option,” Kenneth J. Perry, a physician based in South Carolina, told Fox News Digital.
Flu shots typically go into the upper arm (specifically the deltoid muscle), which means having a removable layer or avoiding the sweaters altogether might prevent some hassle.
“You typically don’t need to eat or drink anything unless this would make you more comfortable,” Dr. Michael A. Traub of Crystal Run Healthcare in New York told Fox News Digital. However, eating something light can help steady your blood sugar and prevent lightheadedness.
