No such huge side effect of flu shot.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome To Ask A Doctor Service.
I understand your concern, I have gone through your question.
There is nothing to worry about, because there is no such huge side effect of flu shot.
There may be mild fever, body ache or skin Rash but nothing more than that.
So my suggestion is there is no harm in taking flu shot because there is no such heavy side effect.
I hope your query got Answered.
Thanks and regards

I work for a medical travel agency and since September of 2019, I have had 3 MMR vaccines because my immunity values are not high enough to satisfy hospital requirements. I am about to start another assignment and am required to get another one, making 4 MMR vaccines since September. I am also required to the flu shot at the same time. I was told by a nurse practitioner that there is a high chance for a bad reaction or side effect and so I shouldn't get the flu shot. What are you thought?
