COVID & Flu Shots Yesterday

Gladly, no side effects at all. Neither arm is sore.
I was a little worried because we dropped off the kittens this morning for their spaying.
The shelter through whom we got them had the staged at a vet in a different town, so we have a half-hour each way, twice today. Feeling crummy would have made that harder.
But, no such bad luck!
We go back to get them at 4pm our time.

Been busy today so we sort of forgot - so no effects so far.

I noticed in the last hour that passed, I noticed a very slight tenderness in my left arm.
Right arm is still zero.
But, no real immune response effect.
The very first COVID vaccine I ever got caused a pretty strong 8 or 10 hour reaction.
None since, including this one.

I never whine about any side effects - I think that's a leftover from my childhood - whenever we went overseas we'd get a bunch of shots, and WHINING WAS NOT ALLOWED

Other than the first COVID shot reaction, I never had a reaction except for the first malaria shot.
Felt crummy for a full day or more. I guess that's why they want you to have it a week before you left.
