I just got my flu and RSV vaccinations. That should be it, for this year.

I decided to get them both in the same arm. That way the soreness will be confined to one side.

I've got no plans to go anywhere, tomorrow, just in case.

2 weeks apart,,,, the only one we had a big reaction to was the Covid vaccine. Absolutely no reaction to the Flu Vaccine and a sore arm for the RSV vaccine that lasted several days,,,, but in each case we were prepared to feel a little under the weather,,,,

Good luck. Give those sweet kitties a pet

My cousin got the flu and Covid vaccinations at the same time and had a strong reaction. At first she thought it was to the covid one but then decided it was the flu shot.

I'm surrounded by the kidcats, right now. Pretty soon I will say the magic words 'Are you hungry!' and they will stampede to the kitchen.

The last Covid shot knocked me for a loop though.

Wife and I got our Covid booster last Friday, it knocked her for a loop, very mild this time for me.

I'm going to take a nice hot shower and then just take the day as it comes.

The pharmacist did warn me that the RSV injection is a little painful. She didn't tell me in what order she was giving them but I definitely noticed a difference with the 2nd one. Not bad but definitely less smooth. I didn't even feel the first injection..

The more you move around and get blood flowing through your arms, the less it will hurt and for a shorter time. YMMV.
