Is having these feelings after the H1N1 shot normal and how common is it to have?

Question

I got my shot in the arm 4 hours later, I had pains in my arms. When I woke up this morning I was a bit shaky, cold and dizzy, and I have a light fever. How long will these last?

Yes, I think that it's normal. Several of my classmates have complained about sore arms or pain in the arm after getting the shot, and some have even skipped a day of school after getting shot because they weren't feeling well. As long as your fever isn't too high, you should be fine. It takes a while for your body to get adjusted. I mean, you just got the virus injected into you, so it takes time to get adjusted. You should probably be okay around 1 or 2 days (in my opinion) after the vaccination. If you're still feeling sick after that, I'd suggest seeing a doctor. Good luck, and I hope you get better soon. :)

I'm not a health expert (not at all), but I'm giving you this information based on my observations of the people who've gotten the shot (my classmates) and their stories.
