[montanacowboy]

so far doing good! Will wait a while for the flu shot.

1. Got both of mine last week

I got both at the same time, didn't have any problems with them.

2. I got my 5th covid and a flu shot yesterday.

I feel absolutely fine so far. My earlier covid vaccines made me tired and just sickly feeling, but this one hasn't.

15. You're two ahead of me. I've gotten two originals and a booster

Flu shot is next. That I get every year during my physical in December. It’s my annual shot. We sure are getting a lot of shots the last two and a half years.

3. I got the over 65 flu shot with the Moderna bivalent booster

I had no issues

4. Funny you should mention; i get both tomorrow morning

2nd covid booster & flu shot at same time to get it over with. I usually do pretty good so not anticipating much side effects. Hopefully that is the case.

5. I got the first and second shot, no more for me

I got so sick after my second shot in May. I think my system has built up enough defense now though.

6. There's a 5th shot?

I'm due for my 4th.

I did not know that there was a fifth shot...

[OtterDave]

7. It is endless

Done with it myself

[SalamanderSleeps]

8. Rolling the bones, eh?

I hope you are lucky.

[OtterDave]

10. I hope so as well

Bet I will be just fine. The percent of people getting the boosters is dropping big time.

24. What is downside?

[hamsterjill]

16. I'm leaning that way myself.

I just can’t do this forever. Too much anxiety over needles.

[USALiberal]

23. Why??

[viva la]

9. This is a new recipe

Designed for the new variants.

[LeftInTX]

11. How does it work?

I had my booster in Nov 2021

Do I get two shots in one visit?

Do I get one booster, than another booster a month later?

[viva la]

12. Just get the new one.

They'll ask if you want the flu shot too. They gave me $5 to get the flu shot, I don't know why.

[LeftInTX]

13. Yeah, we can get $25 gift cards with Covid boosters

[Tetrachloride]

14. staying home and open air markets

are my lifesavers. i don’t know if flu vaccine is available in my half of a distant land

17. Getting our 5th shot today along with the senior flu shot!

18. I was due for a 2nd booster in May

I kept putting it off. Conveniently, by the time I got booster #2 last week, it was the bivalent one. I went ahead and got my flu shot at the same time because I had not had one in two years. The night/day after was pretty bad. I had chills. I threw up. Everything hurt. While the booster was Pfizer and I had only had Moderna shots before, I'm pretty sure it was the flu vaccine that kicked my ass.

19. Wife & I Got Both At Same Time

COVID booster & flu.
Mine was a couple weeks ago, my wife was last Thursday (I think).
I had a very slight side effect. My wife had none.

[Sympthsical]

20. I slept for 12 hours

Got Covid and flu shot at the same time Monday afternoon. Got about four hours of sleep that night, because I was studying for a big exam. But four hours is fine for me.

Well! Pretty much white-knuckled it through the day. Every shot I've had has just been massive fatigue the next day and that unspecific "I don't feel well" feeling. You know. I don't have a headache, but I feel like I'm about to. I don't have a fever, but feel like it's coming. I'm not achey, but my muscles feel like they're about to be. By end of exam, there was that strong, "I want to go home, crawl under a blanket, and watch Netflix for a week," sense.

Sure enough. Finished last work call at 4:55p and was dead by 5pm. Woke up at 5am to garbage truck down the street and fled to get everything out in time.

Really good sleep, though.

21. How you feeling today? We are getting our 5th shot today.

[Dorian Gray]

22. I got both same day last week

and zero side effects (other than slightly sore arm on the covid shot arm). I'm lucky as I have friends who get really bad covid vaccine side effects.

Congrats on your shot. Hope you have a healthy and happy winter!
