Got myself super-vaxxed today! [View all]

My weekend may not be fun, but I got three shots:

Covid - now one shot instead of a series of 2. Glad to update since I'm attending a wedding next week with people from out of town.
Flu - I've never gotten a flu shot as I was always told they're better for very young or older or immunocompromised, but I just got one anyway
Shingles - Highly recommended for people 50+. I have had chicken pox in my youth and two friends under 50 who can't get the shot yet but had shingles flare-ups and apparently they are miserable. I'm supposed to get it boosted in 2-3 months.

I know Covid and Flu can cause mild symptoms as they work, so hopefully I'll survive, but I'm glad to get everything updated. My previous three Covid vaccines each caused tiredness and a persistent headache for a day.
