Coronavirus

[Swerd]

I'm scheduled to get the flu and covid vaccines on the same day shortly as well. Hopefully it doesn't cause too many side effects.

I had nothing worse than mild soreness at the injection site.

Mine are scheduled on the 24th of this month. Adding the RSV with it.

I have to call the VA for an appointment, to have the latest covid and flu shot. Flu shot, I usually do without. Receiving these shots are no big deal, for me.

Scheduled to get both Monday. Never had any reaction to the flu shot but had some pretty rough reactions to the covid shot. I'm told that it means the shot is working. Never had covid so maybe it is.

Got both shots today. I fully expect to feel terrible tomorrow and maybe Wednesday. The pharmacist told me its ok to take Alieve or Ibuprofen if and when I start feeling the effects so there is that. I'll let you know.

Felt terrible when I woke up at 5 after the Alieve had worn off. Took another and the body and headaches finally stopped this afternoon. Funny thing is that the flu shot in my right arm hurt more than the covid in my left. So glad I don't have to deal with these shots for another year.

I don't think the covid shots ever bothered me very much. But my last flu shot was the senior shot, which is twice as strong as the regular shot, seemed to make me feel like crap. I haven't taken one since. If I take another one, I'm going to try to get the lower dose shot.

I got the senior shot and that's probably why the flu shot hurt my arm more than the covid shot.
