My Husband & I got our COVID and Flu Vaccines this morning,,,,

[KarenS]

Using the power of positive thinking I'm not going to react to the COVID vaccine this time

Usually, about 20 hours after the shot I'm down on the couch for a day ~ fever, chills, aches & pains,,,, but I'm not going to react this time

but we have avoided getting COVID so that's good this is my 7th time getting this shot.

[we can do it]

1. Absolutely no reaction this time other than slight injection site soreness

2. I did them separately.

The flu vaccine is the one that hits me hard. I was down and out for over 24 hours. Temp overnight was 102.6.

3. ohhhhh,,,

That's bad. I hate reacting to vaccines but I hate to get sick also.

I've never reacted to a flu vaccine, tho.

Interesting how we're all different.

4. It's better than having the flu for a week.

Hope your shots are easy on you.

6. I got mine on Tuesday

one in each arm. The Covid shoulder was sore the next day, and generally felt rundown and fluish on Wednesday...but it cleared up by Thursday.

7. Getting both next week

I got both at the same time last year, in the same arm, and it really hurt. I felt a little rundown for a day or two. Nothing compared to the one time I got the flu... which was an absolutely dreadful week of either throwing up or feeling like I had to throw up coupled with an exhaustion I have not often felt. I had COVID once.... It was nowhere near as bad as the flu for me, fortunately. I got COVID despite getting all the vaccines and boosters available.
