[Peacetrain]

between the RSV and the Coivd and flu combo shots.. just passing it along

[LetMyPeopleVote]

1. I was told the same thing

[Chautauquas]

2. Thanks for the info

I got the flu and covid shots last week but didn't get the rsv. Now I'm glad I waited and will make an appointment for next week.

3. Thanks for that information.

4. Thanks for that info

I almost did it backwards.

5. how about shingles?

got my flu, not quite ready for new booster. b good to get both these out of the way in 1 stop.

[Sympthsical]

6. Same

Covid/flu combo and reminded to come back in two weeks.

7. The official stance is the vaccines can be combined. The qualifier is there are no studies

that actually support that claim

18. The vaccine spacing question doesn't lend itself to intuition and leads to pseudo-science every year

Whatever risk there is from combining vaccines seems to be mixed in with the low baseline risk inherent with any single vaccine. It isn't worth focusing on.

8. I was told the same by pharmacist

9. I guess I'm doomed - I've already done it.

If something awful happens I'll let you know...

[CousinIT]

10. Good to know. Thank you!

I am deliberately spacing them out.

11. We were given all 3

a week ago. Great.

12. I have a friend who was somewhat anti-vax ...

She sees several doctors for different conditions.

A few months ago, she received the shots for COVID, RSV, flu, and some other conditions in rapid succession. Perhaps all within two weeks.

She got very sick and attributed it to the vaccines.

I tried to convince her that her body, especially her arms, went into shock from having so many vaccines close together.

Nope. She believes it was just from having the shots.

She's a Republican. (Bet you didn't see that coming.)

13. Got all 3 today... with both my doctor's and my pharmacist's blessing.

[we can do it]

14. Got Covid vax yesterday. RSV in 2 weeks then flu shot a couple weeks later.

[meow2u3]

15. Thanks for the info

I was going to go to the pharmacy for my RSV shot this week. I guess I'll have to wait until after the 1st weekend in October.

16. Wanted It ... $$$$

I asked for it when I had the Covid shot last week. Apparently, my insurance wouldn't cover it, and they said something like $325. I think it's because I'm 59 and it's recommended for 60 and over. Maybe next year.

17. I plan to get mine individually. I get a vigorous response...

…to the COVID shots - temp 102, achey from head to toe, and feeling like I’m carved out of ice.

I’m not concerned about the safety of getting more than 1 vaccine at the same time. I just want to know how I’m reacting to each one.

20. Walgreen's just told us we had to wait two weeks to get the RSV and hour ago.

We had an appointment for flu, COVID, and RSV.

The explanation wasn't that we would get sick from all three at the same time, rather it was the possibility that the RSV would compromise the efficacy of the flu and COVID shots.

For those who already got both, it's probably fine. The Pharm said they were just notified to take this precaution.

21. I got Covid and flu shots today.

I'm getting the TDAP later this month,
and then later will get RSV.
