    Swine Flu Shot?
    I got the swine flu shot at my school last week. And it hurt so bad and they just jammed it in me. But I just wanted to ask is the shot fatal and could there be serve side effects. Im just asking because I saw on the news about the girl who couldn't walk forward. So that really scared me. But thanks in advance!

    The shot isn't fatal, but the swine flue (H1N1) could be without the shot. If you got it last week and have no medical issues, I guess you are in the clear.

    The girl who couldn't walk forward, was a hoax.

    Yea, it hurts a bit. I believe it's given intramuscular and not subcuteneusly. Considering I inject myself using the latter method up to 8x per day and poke by finger 4x. The H1N1 fulu shot hurts by those standards. I got it a few days ago. No issues, other than the initial injection ouch.
