Normally, in the past, I usually get one at a time because I tend to get very achy from them. However, I knew there was no way I was gonna be able to get all of the ones I need before the lunatic takes over and tries to stop us from getting vaccinated. I have gotten two at once before in the past.

I got the pneumonia 20. About 10 years before that I got the other pneumonia shot and the flu shot at the same time one in each arm that was a mistake because both my arms froze. So now I always get them in the same arm, I tell them to put one of them in the front of my shoulder and one in the middle. It’s less painful that way.😀

The odd thing is that other than my childhood vaccinations I never got any vaccinations until after I became type one diabetic and became super high risk. And then I started getting the flu vaccine and the pneumonia vaccine etc. I did get the occasional DTaP because of needing the tetanus. I also never had the flu in my entire life until after the second year I got vaccinated for it. My brother did not get vaccinated and brought it home to me. Never coughed that much in my life. The coughing was so awful and I had a very high fever. I didn’t go to the doctor until three days later and she said I had flu B. So I guess it would’ve been a lot worse if I had not had the vaccination… I could’ve been hospitalized.
