Let's talk vaccines!

I got my Moderna bivalent booster (4th shot total) on Friday along with a flu shot. I was there so I figured why not do both. They can be done together but they like to do one in each arm.

With both of my boosters I had milder symptoms than I had for the first 2 shots. My left arm (Covid shot) was sore for about 2 days, but at least I could move it and sleep on it this time. I had a headache, cold symptoms, and general yucky feeling for a little over 24 hours. Not sure how much of that was due to the Covid shot vs the flu shot. The worst of the symptoms were gone by day 2, but I still had a slight headache and felt lazy all day.

Today was day 3 and I feel fine.

Not sure if it's based on location, but my pharmacy was offering the bivalent booster to anyone 12 years and up. It also has to be at least 2 months since your last Covid vaccine. I had my last booster 9 months ago.

I've got to wait a while to get the bivalent booster since I just had covid last month, but I got my flu shot today at least! So far no real side effects except for the sore arm, but these do usually leave me feeling kinda bleh for a couple days, so I'm going to try and take it a little easy. I'll be getting the bivalent booster as soon as the recommended wait is over.

I'm going to get both my covid booster and flu shot this year. I get my flu shot every year and never get the flu thanks to it. If I end up getting the flu though, it'll be less of an impact on me.

going to get another booster vaccination at some point next week! and a flu jab around the same time (hopefully)

My mom and I got the Pfizer bivalent booster shot today. I was curious on what they did with the vaccination card once it fills up, and it turns out that they just staple a new one onto it. Well, at least in my county. So far I'm not experiencing any throbbing pain like last time. It just hurts when I lift my vaccinated arm in a 90 degree angle or more.

We got the flu shot back in September, so I opted us out of getting another one.

From seeing this thread I remembered that I have to leave work today to get my 4th vaccine! Thank you for the reminder

Just received my 4th Pfizer shot (2nd booster) and my flu shot today.
So far I feel fine.

Update: Had a sore arm, a headache, and a fever this morning (10/29/2022); feeling better now.

My family and I all got our bivalent Covid shots today! (Since we tested positive for Covid in September, we had to wait a few months before we could get these.) So far I'm feeling totally fine this time. ^^

Got my fourth Pfizer COVID (bivalent) shot two weeks ago and my flu shot last month. No reaction to either this time. Glad I got flu shot before Thanksgiving because my cousin's whole family came down with flu right after but I didn't catch it. Vaccines work.
