My girlfriend is a flu nurse. I got the flu shot and felt like crap about 4 hours later then was fine the next day.

Yeah, that was my experience too--I kind of felt run-down, like I was getting over.... well... the flu. I felt fine after a good night's sleep.

I think another thing people forget is that often what they think is the flu is actually a bad cold, which is altogether different, and not something that you can be vaccinated for.
