I have never had a reaction from the flu shot or my most recent tetanus shot (don't hold an avocado in your palm while pitting it with a sharp paring knife, duh), but I agree that it's best to take it easy when you're dumping another task on your immune system. How about an easier run or walk?

I agree with the notion of a lighter workout, but NOT more days off. For me, that danged tetanus shot ache doesn't go away unless I get my heart rate up - I think it helps the (whatever it is) get distributed through my body and not sit there at the injection site. But because of the systemic and immune-system stress, I'd do something indoors and not stressful - maybe a good long stretch or yoga?
