I got my updated COVID vaccine today and my flu shot at the same time!

Both of my upper arms ache a little! Not to bad though! I am going the South Dakota Trucking Association Convention and want to make sure I’m vaccinated! A lot of people are going to be there! I am not real enthused to, but being one of Driver of the Month recipients for December, I might be voted for South Dakota’s Driver of the Year. I’m not looking to win but it would be notch in my belt as my driving career wind down. I’ll keep everyone posted.

2. Good luck to you. We're licensed in SD, but full-time RV'ers.

You're smart to get the shots, stay safe.

24. A lot of full time RVers I know

get licensed in SD for some reason....Are South Dakota taxes, licensing, registration, etc much lower than all other states???????/

3. Congratulations on your Driver of the Month award, and good luck on being Driver of the Year.

I’m getting my COVID, FLU, and RSV shots this Thursday, *gulp* hope three shots aren’t going to be to much.

4. Way to go ace! I was just a day run route driver. I never wanted to the big boy over the road thing. n/t

5. Mine weren't so bad, either.

I felt fortunate.

Enjoy your convention. 🙌🏽

6. Good!! I just got over COVID...never had it before. It SUCKS!!

I was waiting until September when the "new" vaccine was supposed to come out (which it has) to get my newest booster. Then I'm pretty sure a truck ran over me...except it was covid. And I'm in my 70's. Still dragging around.

8. Hope you're feeling better?

I had it once and that one time was enough for a lifetime!

[BComplex]

9. Not a lot! But thanks

Once is definitely enough for a lifetime.

7. My flu arm was a little sore for a few hours.

My Covid arm injection site was warm and very tender for close to 24 hours.

But now I’m good for a year.

10. Good for you! I got my flu shot yesterday.

No pain.

Three weeks ago I got the Covid shot, and my
arm was a little painful for a day or two.

All worth it!

11. I have had covid twice as far as I know.

Both times nothing more than a minor sniffles. The second time I did not even have that I just felt off for a day. I am one of the lucky ones.

The first time my doc gave me something ( not paxlovid ) and I tested + for 14 days, the second time they said not to take anything. I tested + for 4 days.

My doc actually recommended not getting boosters ( I had two ) as my symptoms were so minor and to wait for if a really dangerous strain came around. Part of this is due to both my parents having very bad reactions to their boosters, like my mother almost went in to the hospital twice with 24 hours of getting two boosters. The docs have no idea why she had a bad reactions to them.

It is driving my father nuts as he was in public health and was friends with Fauci for 20 years, but he also had a bad reactions to the vaccine. Both of them also when they have had covid, had very minor symptoms.

12. Got both of those a couple weeks ago

Got both in the same arm. Was sore for a couple of days - not too bad.
I had COVID a couple of years ago, right after I retired. Fortunately I was current with the vaccines, because I felt like I was hit by a truck.I was functional, but didn't want to be. Felt OKAY after about a week.

13. I sure hope you...

At least place in the competition!

To help speed the end of pain in your arms, rub them and massage that vaccine out into more areas of you body, get your blood circulating a bit and the pain will subside faster.

14. Good luck and stay safe and healthy.

15. Congratulations and good luck.

Driver of the Year has a nice ring to it. Hope you get that .. sure nice to be in the running.

[surfered]

16. Getting ours tomorrow

[ailsagirl]

17. Very wise to get both shots at once-- (though I know that can definitely hurt)

Hope you get Driver of the Month!!

Or year!!

18. my arm was sore last year, it woke me up! so I tried the windmill method

Just twirling your arm around like a windmill for a minute right after the injections, and it worked!

19. I'm getting both Friday

Congratulations👏. And good on you for protecting yourself.

20. Congratulations and safe travels.

21. It's smart to mask

Please be careful. One in every 30 to 40 people have active covid. One million cases per day still.

22. CONGRATULATIONS MY FRIEND

Good Luck. My wife and I get every shot as soon as possible. Covid and flu about two weeks ago. No problem at all.

Looking forward to your news.
