Oct 2023

October 3rd (5th Covid vaccine) and only felt slight pain on my arm, and some tiredness the next day. Those were the only reactions. But, thankfully, I never had a serious reaction to any of the shots. I would NEVER get the flu shot and covid vaccine on the same day. Too risky I think. Going this weekend for the flu shot.
