My husband and I decided to live dangerously today [View all]

We got vaccinations - the newest Covid, flu, RSV, and pneumonia - two in each arm for each of us. So far, no problems. The Walgreen website said that the CDC claims there are no adverse effects from getting them all at once, so I decided to go for it.

My major reason for getting them all now is that in two weeks I get my first cataract surgery. I wanted to get the vaccinations before then, and there was just not enough time to do it any other way.

I'm just hoping that I can move my arms tomorrow!

They've already had me put in eye drops for dry eyes for the last month. csziggy Oct 2023 #12

For me the eye drops were only a minor nuisance. I'd all but forgotten about them PoindexterOglethorpe Oct 2023 #14
