No one in the family has had any reaction to the flu, Covid, RSV, or shingles shots. Not even a sore arm. Must be working, since we haven’t had Covid or anything else. My only bad experience with anything resembling an immunization was a combined allergy shot for cats and dust. Now that was really awful.
