When are y’all getting your flu shot and covid booster? Getting the flu one next week… the other probably mid November?

Got both the second week it was out. Walked into CVS, got the shots and a coupon for like $5.

Already done both, at the same time, in the same arm. Felt meh for about 12 hours and the injection site itched for another 48.

Same time? How was that? Idk what it was but last year’s flu shot wrecked me for two days straight. Ooof.

I got both at the same time too. Nothing really happened to me other than an incredibly sore arm.

Sore arm gang: I’ve found moving my arm around a lot (doing circles and things) helps reduce the soreness after getting vaccines. I got my second booster about a month ago and my flu shot last week, no real soreness. YMMV

I got both in the same arm and had no side effects at all. Wasn't even sore.

I got mine at CVS and they did one shot in each arm. Luckily I don’t get any major side effects other than sore arms. Maybe some fatigue, but that can be blamed on other things lol

Got them both in the same arm. I had a headache the next day and my arm hurt for a couple days after, but other than that no major side effects.

Got my COVID booster last weekend - I had COVID in July so this put me right at the three months post-infection when they say you should get it. Tried to get it at Walgreens a few days prior and they cancelled on me due to staffing issues, but I booked at a different Walgreens and had no trouble. Had a surprising lack of side effects, though that could be from switching from Moderna to Pfizer. Flu shot, I figured I'd get it if they offered it to me when I was getting my COVID shot, and they didn't, so I'll be looking into my work clinic or other pharmacies in the hopes of getting it before the end of the month.

Flu is at a work clinic next week.
Already got the booster. Had my physical and asked if it was available. I had COVID two months before but am traveling now so I didn't want to wait. Hopefully I don't have any issues from that as I've read it might not have been as effective.

I got both already but the flu shot was unplanned. I'm at a higher risk for bad COVID effects so I jumped on the booster as soon as I could (late September).
I got my flu shot a week ago when I visited my PCP, felt a bit sluggish for a day or so afterwards but I was also coming off a camping weekend so hard to say.
I got my flu + booster on the same day in October 2021 and that fucked me up good for a day or so.
