My older daughter got hers the day before

[Goodheart]

1. Yes. My arm hurt during my sleep, though.

All better this morning.

[W_HAMILTON]

2. Yes, got it about a month ago.

No charge, since I've met my out-of-pocket maximum for the year (thanks, Obamacare!).

[AllaN01Bear]

3. got mine at my drs office a while back.

medical ( medcaid to some of u , and cal health and wellness) paid for it.

[hlthe2b]

4. August 30

[bullwinkle428]

5. Had it taken care of in early September.

[Raven]

6. Got the senior flu shot in early October. It was painless this year.

[spinbaby]

7. Yes!

It was easy, so no excuse.

[MoonRiver]

8. Got mine Monday during my annual dr. visit.

[True Blue American]

14. Pharmacist

Gave me mine. Paper work so I have a record.

[Alliepoo]

9. Yep! Hubs and I went to the CVS clinic

About a month ago and got our flu shots. I got the stronger shot for the first time. I thought I’d maybe have a slight reaction (my bff had quite a reaction to it) but no problems at all. My arm wasn’t even sore!

[Sherman A1]

10. Yup

On 10/15.

[dubyadiprecession]

11. Yes, Earlier this month.

I usually don’t get the flu afterwards. If I do, the symptoms aren’t as bad, if I do get it.

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. indeed! from my nearby Walgreen. Painless (physically and $$$ wise)

[Trueblue Texan]

13. Yep!

Got it Saturday.

[Hobo]

15. Yes and a pneumonia shot als

[smirkymonkey]

51. Yes, same here. Got both shots at the same time.

It's funny, because the only warning they gave me was telling my arm was going to be really sore for about 5 days, but my arm was barely sore at all.

However, I did come down with major flu symptoms (whole body aches, exhausted, couldn't focus or do much of anything, including eating) for two days afterward. I know it was just an immune system response, but I still felt like hell. By the third day I was feeling better, just a bit more tired than usual.

I'm a little young for a pneumonia shot, but for some reason, my new primary care doctor recommended it. Probably because I was having some chest pains when it was set up but I went through a number of tests including a nuclear PET scan and it turns out that I am fine. No heart damage at all and no blockage. My cholesterol is way down and so is my BP. It was probably just stress induced cardiac symptoms at the time since I was having a lot of anxiety about Trump and politics in general. I can't believe how much this bastard has fucked up my physical and mental health.

[get the red out]

16. Yes

About a week 1/2 ago.

[JHB]

17. Got mine yesterday

Normally would have gotten it a few weeks back during a doctor visit, but office visits are still curtailed. Got it at the drug store I use instead.

Got it 2-3 weeks ago so I am ‘covered’.

Got my pneumonia shot last year so I’m good there as well.

All on Medicare’s dime!

[justhanginon]

25. Yes, got it yesterday. Got the high octane seniors shot and

they looked it up and my pneumonia shots are up to date. Arm a little sore this morning but just locally. I should be good well into spring flu season.

[Chainfire]

26. My wife and I got the shots about three weeks ago

I had no ill effects, not even a sore arm. My wife complained about soreness but no other problems. I have grown three inches since I got the shot, but I am not sure it isn't just coincidence.

[SKKY]

27. Getting mine tomorrow at the VA.

The trick is to move your arm around a lot and gently massage the injection site.

[tblue37]

36. Yes. nt

[phylny]

37. Sure did.

I brought my 93-year-old dad, too. He said he "didn't need it" because he had one in December 2019.

[Danmel]

I had the flu once. That was enough for me. Covid makes the case even stronger.

[grantcart]

[Ilsa]

48. Yes. nt

[trackfan]

49. Yes.

Got it last week.

[Fla Dem]

50. Yes, a week ago this past Monday.

[moonscape]

52. Interestingly, there was no senior super-dose

available and I was told there might not be the rest of the winter. So I demured, called around, and found the pharmacy was correct: none in the county. So I went back a few days later (last week) and said I'd have whatever was available.

We just got the super-duper senior one in! Woot!

So I'm pumped with vaccine.

[GreenEyedLefty]

53. Yes, on October 9

[MurrayDelph]

54. I can't. I react. Badly *

Fortunately for me, the only person I typically hang out with is my wife, and she gets her shot, so I won't get it from her.

I'm up-to date on most of my other vaccines. When I see my doctor next month, I'm going to ask about the pneumonia vaccine.

* Please don't suggest alternative vaccines. It's akin to when decades ago some friends suggested trying to find out which types of alcohol I'm allergic to (it turns out I can't tolerate any; I once spent the night in an emergency room because a restaurant's barbecue sauce). The concept of "Here, try this one and maybe it won't make you so sick you'd think you're going to die" doesn't have a big attraction factor.

[Lars39]

55. Those of us who do get the flu shot help protect you

and others who can’t have it. And glad to do it, too.

[MurrayDelph]

58. Thank you

And I happy to pass the favor along on the vaccines I can take.

[area51]

56. Yep. n/t

[tavernier]

57. September
