vaccinations = one in each arm

We had our flu and Covid shots yesterday. I had mine in the same arm. A lot of pain (muscular) last night but calming down today. We had the shingles shot years ago with no problems.

One in each arm for me and DH. All fine. Glad to have them. It all seems to be much better organised this year.

We had our shingles one yesterday. DH had the pneumonia one too. He had one sore arm last night but didn’t know which vaccine he had in that one. We’re both fine this morning.

We were asked if we were having any other vaccines soon. Our flu and covid one is in three weeks. That’s OK. Any less we would have had to have changed the date.

We’ve had both vaccinations at the same time for 2 years now. Always mid October. Flu one starts to wear off a lot after 3 months. No really bad after effects for either of us. I tend to feel a bit groggy for 48 hrs.

Yammy, when I had my shingles shot, it had no after-effect whatsoever.

Ours is in two weeks' time, so thanks for saying you have not had any bad side effects. We had to cancel the Shingles as DH was ill so we are on a waiting list for that. DD has had shingles she was really poorly so I really want that one even if I am off colour for a few days.

No, but had shingles vaccination in one arm last year and pneumonia in the other. Some soreness, but nothing worse. It seems a good way to get the vaccinations out of the way without having to make two trips and reduce appointment availability for other people.
