Really depends on how much you tense up your arm. The actual shot doesn't hurt, just a tiny little pin prick like a mosquito bite. Whether it swells is often depending on how tense or relaxed you are before you get the shot.
So just relax, or get the nasal spray.

technos shots have changed, I got one not too long ago and it felt just the same as another needle. Swine flu shot is the same thing, if you are so scared of needles, try getting the swine flu mist instead.

It's Sunday now and I got the shot on Friday afternoon. The shot did not hurt at all getting it but my arm was a bit sore yesterday, although not so much that I couldn't get on with ordinary life.

its the same as any other shot. they dont hurt going into your skin, your arm is just a little sore the next day, they do it really fast so you barely feel it, you have nothing to worry about
