Wouldn’t normally have had two vaccines at the same time but last year I was offered Covid when I had my flu jab so I went for it. So didn’t hesitate when the same thing happened this year. To be honest I have any and every jab offered to me these days! Having said that, apart from feeling tired one year after my flu jab they don’t seem to affect me.

I had “Covid” arm for over a week. Horrible. Better than Covid though.

I am currently suffering with COVID (2nd time, 1st in March 2020). It is really not nice. Please take advantage of your free vaccine.

I had a slight reaction this year, slight soreness and redness for a couple of days, but may be because I had them in the same arm. Otherwise, in previous years, when i have had one in each arm, no reaction at all.

I decided to get both on one arm this topic, so that I could get a sleep. My arm was sore for a couple of days, but a small price to pay.

Previously I had a sore upper arm for a few days. This time I had no reaction whatsoever.

No problem or side effects at all!

Same here, one in each arm. Just slightly sore where the injections were for a couple of days.

I had them at the same time. One in each arm. No side effects.

Good morning, I have both jabs booked in today. I’m now feeling a bit worried is it too much to have both together? Do you have in the same arm? Has anyone had problems afterwards. Thoughts please?
